When entering amounts in the Cost to Complete module, we may have allowance items that have exceeded the budget at a given point in time. We will never show a loss for an allowance item but we haven't written a change order yet to increase the budget and zero them out. The ability to enter a negative amount would correctly zero out that cost code (budget=cost). The only way to fix the problem is take the difference out of another allowance cost code that has enough money left in it to makeup the difference and have the total Cost to Complete be correct.

Yes, we just had a similar instance but this was a negative cost to complete due to returning material that should then come off of the job to date costs. It would not let me.
