Generating burden on expenditure types with allowed cost schedule burden caps and open commitments

If a subcontract expenditure type is setup on the allowed cost schedule with a $25,000 burden cap and the full subcontracted amount (for example $50,000) is setup on the PO, posted as a commitment in the Grants Module along with its corresponding indirect cost (for example 10% IDC rate so an additional $5,000 IDC commitment), what do you do when the first invoice comes in for $20,000, matches to the PO and moves from Commitment to Actual Expenditure in Grants but posts with an incorrect $0 Burdenable Cost?
In that case, because Grants is calculating the Burdenable Cost of those Actual Expenditures by adding actuals $20K plus commitments $30K for a total $50K, it thinks the $25K cap has already been reached when it sees the $50K and marks those actuals with a $0 Burdenable Cost in Expenditure Inquiry. How do you get burden to generate in a timely manner for periodic invoicing without having to ask the customer to reverse their PO's, generate the IDC, then ask them to rebook their PO's?
