Why do vendor credits not reduce available room left on amount of commitment?

SOLVED

When a vendor sends their credit note related to a commitment and subsequently provides their corrected invoice bringing amount invoiced to full value of commitment, we can't successfully enter the subsequent invoice and have to create a POCO to increase the commitment amount. Only then will the final invoice be able to be processed but that seems counter-intuitive.

Are we doing something wrong? Is there another way to accomplish the goal of having invoices less credits equal the committed value?

    What are the warning message settings set to and how are you recording the credits against the commitment? In the AP Settings, Invoice settings, Warning Message settings, you set options to allow a commitment to be invoiced over the amount of the commitment, and/or over the UNITS on the commitment.   If you distribute the credit invoice to the appropriate previoulsy invoiced commitment/commitment item, you should then be able to later record the invoice for the remaining balance without having to enter any commitment changes orders.
