If costs were imported only in the Future Cost fields, the current costs will not be updated when the Rollover Costs process is run. If the client is tracking three sets of costs (current, next, and future), costs should be imported to the Next Cost fields and to the Future Cost fields with appropriately scheduled due dates. If the client is only tracking two sets of costs (current and next), costs should be imported to the Next Cost fields with an appropriate scheduled due date, NOT the Future Cost fields.
If costs were imported to the Future Cost field and/or to the Next Cost field, the Rollover Costs process MUST be run (manually or automatically) in order for the cost lookup to function correctly. If the Rollover Costs process is not run, the cost in the Current Cost field will not necessarily be the cost looked up from the cost tables for the Issue Budgets/Issue Purchase Orders screens.
If costs were imported to the Future Cost field and/or to the Next Cost field, then the new costs manually entered or imported into the Current Cost field, the current cost will not necessarily be the cost that is looked up from the cost tables for the Issue Budgets/Issue Purchase Orders screens. Costs should not be entered/imported to the Current Cost field after costs have been imported to the Future Cost and/or Next Cost fields without paying very careful attention to the costs' effective dates.
