The process for establishing the schedule of values for change orders is generally the same as described above for new work orders. However, in the case of change orders, you may need to remove items or work from the original work order. When this happens, the change order requires a negative schedule of values. Aspire provides two mechanisms for representing a negative schedule of values. Aspire clients can choose which mechanism to use for their company by setting the Enable Negative Schedule of Value Lines check box on the Application tab of the Application Configuration Screen as described in the following table.

Setting for the Enable Negative Schedule of Value Lines option	Aspire Behavior
Unchecked	You are required to use a special Negative Schedule of Values option available in the footer of the Schedule of Values screen to subtract negative values from the existing schedule of values entries using the Add Negative Schedule of Values screen.
Checked	You are required to account for negative change orders by adding a new Schedule of Value line that has a negative value. When this option is selected, the Negative Schedule of Values option is not available in the footer of the Schedule of Values screen. There is no special screen necessary for this option. you can simply add a schedule of value lines with negative values. Later, on the Master Schedule of Values screen, you can adjust the schedule of values lines as desired for any dollar amounts that have not yet been invoiced.
