Edit an existing resource assignment when the "Load the Change into Cost System as" option is set to "A New or Change Amount"

If the Workflow Type Configuration Load the Change into Cost System as option is set to A New or Change Amount, you will be unable to edit existing resource assignments. In order to delete a resource assignment, or reduce hours, you must insert a new line and enter a negative value to indicate a change. In order to increase hours, you must insert a new line and enter a positive value to indicate a change. Upon final approval of the change request, the difference between the two values is rolled into the final budget.

For example, if a painter has 800 hours assigned and you want to reduce the hours to 600, you must insert a new line and add a painter resource assignment with an amount of -200 hours. Upon final approval, the painter resource assignment will have 600 hours rolled into the budget.
