A1677 The referenced and referencing amount must have the same sign.
The error states a negative amount cannot be used on a Purchase Request Commodity Based (PRC) transaction if the Purchase Order does not also have a negative (not likely). If the Vendor has issued a credit, the user will need to:
- If payment has not been issued, deduct the credit amount from the PRC total then once the PRC is completed, go back into the PO and copy forward to a Commodity Encumbrance Correction (CEC) transaction to close the PO.
- If payment has already been issued when the vendor issues the credit, the user must work with the Vendor to deduct the credit from a future invoice amount.
