Negative variances display in favor of either actuals or budgets, depending on how Report Variances in Favor of is configured on the Display tab of Planning » Administration »Administration Controls » Configuration Settings (MAM10). If configured in favor of Actuals and actual costs are higher than budgeted costs, the variance displays as negative.
