Before you begin, review Rules for Editing Change Details Data.

Delete an existing resource assignment when the "Model Change  as" option is set to "A New or Change Amount"

If the Workflow Type Configuration Model Change as option is set to A New or Change Amount, you will be unable to delete 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. 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.
