Issue/Symptom/Question

Used EQT interface to get equipment hours into our TEST database in the Equipment Usage Entry screen. The 8 entries are there, but they will not distribute.
When importing equipment to screen; Penta does not seem to allow distribution.

Environment

Equipment Timecard Interface

Equipment Cost Control >Equipment Usage Entry 

Option 125 - regulates whether this Interface will automatically distribute when interfaced in, or will require manual distribution.

Resolution/Fix/Answer

The issue is that the Interface loads the detail information (in this case, it is in the Standard Form tab) but it does not load a batch total, so the units fields (Chargeable and Non-Chargeable) are null.

The user would need to enter some amount in at least one of these Units fields to trigger a batch total check before distribution.  A zero would trigger it as well.  

Once that is entered and you try to exit the screen, Penta will ask if you want to run a batch total check.  If yes, and the totals are correct, the batch will be distributed.  If yes, and the totals are not correct, the user would get a batch total discrepancy page, and would be able to distribute with or without it balancing.
