Cause

This is an Expected Behavior. Position or Payment Information is a Generic Object and this Generic Object Framework does not support Multiple Changes Per Day.

This means that whenever a new record is inserted and if the effective date used already exists on a previous record, the new record will always be considered a correction of the previous record.

Resolution

Customers may log an Enhancement Request with business case for a consideration of change in behavior in the future.
