Changes in Material Detail or Purchase Order Change Orders do not update pending change order

Description of Problem When customer creates a purchase order change order from a PCO, and then makes a change to that POCO, the change is not reflected back into the PCO they way that it does for subcontracts.
System Version & Test Data Customer Reported and In-House V6.5 and 6.6
Steps To Reproduce Create PCO, adding a PO to Estimate/Purchase detail so that a POCO is created
Approve PCO, making sure that the "Create PO/SL Change Order" and "Auto-Approve PO/SL Change ORder" boxes are checked.
Go into PM Purchase Order Change Orders, and change either quantity or dollar amount so that the purchase amount is changed.
Go back into PM Pending change orders and you will see that no change is made.

**NOTE: If you were to do this exact process with subcontract change orders, the PCO/ACO would be updated as well.
Current Results PCO/ACO is not updated.
Expected Results PCO/ACO would be updated to reflect the costs as shown in PM Purchase Order Change Orders.

This is the same process used for Subcontract Change orders.
Workaround Customer has to unapprove ACO, then make the change in PCO and re-approve.

**If customer does not realize that the change does not take effect than the ACO could be interfaced with the wrong associated purchase amount (from PCO).
