Symptoms

After running the Mass EFC Calculation, as part of the ISIR Load or standalone,  the students calculated are showing a Federal Need of 0, instead of the expected value of the Cost of Attendance (COA) minus the calculated EFC.

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Identify a student (emplid on record STDNT_AWD_PER) where the Need Summary shows a Federal COA > 0 but Need = 0.
2. Verify the student has a row on the INAS_CALC_RECS table with calculation type of 'B' or 'F'. If necessary, run a Population Update to insert the student into the table.
3. Navigate to Financial Aid > File Management > Mass EFC Calculation and run the process.
4. Navigate to Financial Aid > Awards > Award Processing > Assign Awards to a Student > Need Summary and verify the Federal Need still shows 0 when the value of COA - EFC is > 0.
