Description of problem: We have configured our project contracts to have funding limits for all transactions. When I post a negative FEE transaction, i get an error around the inability to allocate revenue. This is based on the funding limit. If there is NO funding limit, negative fee transactions can be posted. There is no issue with negative hour transactions being posted. Error message: Posting - Journal Journal: PPJ000030 Voucher: PJFE0000004 Line number: 1.00 Revenue could not be allocated. Verify that funding rules have been set up to allocate the revenue. Repro steps: 1. Create a time and material project 2. Assign a project contract and assign a funding limit for 10,000.00 3. Process a negative hours journal - no issue 4. Process a negative fee journal - cannot post with error above. Repeat step 1-4 for a Time and material project with no funding limit. All transactions post. This scenario is currently not supported in the application. The scenario here is that there is no conusmption of the Spend amount earlier and we are posting negative transactions. There might be no consumption of the Spent amount because the Funding limits might have been added later after several transactions are posted and now the customer wants to create a negative transaction or a credit note. Currently the system does not support this scenario. The Spent amount should be consumed first before allowing negative transaction or credit notes.

Thank you for the suggestion! This has been added to our roadmap and will be considered for a future release.

We are considering using this functionality as well. This issue would be a major road block.
