[Prudence]

I swear that when I discover the individuals responsible for this piece of crap budget module I will shoot them dead. And then I will personally bring them back to life so that I can kill them in ever more inventive ways. Don't tell me the damn thing's logical. There is no logic about a system that sometimes will distribute salary changes automatically across the biennium and sometimes requires manual distribution, and the only way to tell the difference is to try it one way and see if it works.

For the record - if you're trying to eliminate one position and move all of its salary into another position you must distribute the amounts manually. If you attempt to auto distribute, it will claim you're fine and that you zero out on the final edit, but when you go to submit the changes it will have fits about the permanent service period being greater or less than zero, even though adding 12.0- to the existing 12.0 would logically produce the desired result, and DOES produce the desired result if you do the manual distribution. Which *looks* just the same when you're done as the auto distribute.

Stupid piece of crap.
