---------------
When negative values (units or costs) are entered against a resource the negative values do not show up in P6 Web. Positive values are fine but negative do not appear.
If you look at the same data in P6 Pro, you can see both positive and negative values.
If you were to add negative values to the negative values activity in P6 Web, save, refresh, the negative value do not appear, but if you look in P6 Pro you will see them.
Totals show correctly in both clients.
