PM actions and PM group pre posting

Commonly known rules in PM actions are “If the actual object does not exist, and the task is connected to a PM Group, pre posting values are copied from the PM Group (if they exist). So, if an object exists the pre posting is taken from there.”

In our case:

Customer is using IFS version 24.2.10. They have code string B = Cost center and code string F = Object in Code Patr Info in Functional object.

When calendar generating PM action, Work Task gets both code strings to the Work Task as Pre posting from Functional object. As it should.

But if they have PM actions with PM Group (without Merge), work tasks Pre postings get only code string B = Cost center in calendar generation with PM group.

So, it seems that other than code string F is not coming from Functional object to Work task, if PM action has PM group and it is used in calendar generation. 

If work order is generated direct from the Maintenance plan line (from one of the pm actions with group) Pre postings gets both code strings as it should.

Any idea why system is acting like this?

Sorry there was typo in my question. It should be like this: So, it seems that other than code string B is not coming from Functional object
