Symptoms

Duplicate BE Journals created when user forgets to delete zero dollar line prior to approving.

The steps to reproduce are as follows:
 
1. User enters a budget document with a zero dollar line and leave document in Incomplete status. No approvals have been submitted.
2. User comes back months later leaves the zero dollar line and adds a line with current appropriation amount.
3. User approves the document which goes into requires reapproval, as the zero dollar line has a GL date of a prior unopen period.
4. User deletes the zero dollar line and clicks approve again.
