  • What causes this issue?

    After allocating amounts of performance obligations, you may find that
    the total allocated amount &v1& is not equal to the contract price &v2&.
    Assume there is a contract 4 for which total revenue is 500 USD.
    Contract 4 contains performance obligations 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
    Of these, performance obligation 10 is a compound performance obligation
    that has two lower-level performance obligations, performance
    obligations 11 and 12.
    The table below lists the performance obligation hierarchy, allocated
    amount, BOM indicator, and performance type.
    Contract 4
    Total Revenue,,500 USD
    Performance Obligation ID,,High Level Performance Obligation,,Allocated
    Amount ,,BOM Indicator,,Performance Obligation Type
    10,, ,,200,,False,,Compound
    11,,10,,100,,False,,Non-distinct
    12,,10,,100,,False,,Non-distinct
    13,, ,,100,,False,,Distinct
    14,, ,,100,,False,,Distinct
    15,, ,,100,,False,,Distinct
    If you performed a calculation of the total allocated amount, it would
    add up to 700 USD. However, the system ignores the amount of performance
    obligation 10 and aggregates from performance obligations 11, 12, 13,
    14, and 15. As a result, the total allocated amount is equal to contract
    price after all.,,

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    System Response

    In terms of compound performance obligation, the system aggregates
    amounts from lower-level performance obligations when calculating
    allocated amount.
