Award calculation

Assumption Mode will consider grades when set against an outcome that is at the Default Status

When running the award calculation in Assumption Mode, if an outcome has a status that matches the institution setting, Default outcome status, then this will be considered in determining the Award result, regardless of whether or not the outcome status is marked as contributes to award outcomes.

If a grade is set against the outcome, this will be used in the calculation, otherwise the minimum pass grade for the grading scheme will be used. This change does not impact the live award calculation.

For a plan with status type of Final or Inreview, staff can no longer change the plan details, plan funding values, and parameters for funding calculation.
