Whilst I agree with Craig's suggestion, for reference you can't have a negative cost. If you try entering one, Asta Powerproject will chuck up a warning stating the value must be greater than zero. That is the point of the alternative income field within Asta - other software which has no concept of income does allow you to have a negative cost but only to get around that deficency.
So I guess you could use the income field to record the underspend...? As the net amount would therefore be orginial cost less the underspend...? Sounds messy though.

Hi Chris,
Wouldn't you just enter actual cost so you could use Asta cost functions?
Kind regards,
