Details table
Operates similar to most other tables in the program with one exception, the Provisional Sum column is used to select provisional sums that were assigned to the job from the estimate stage.
In this column you should select the provisional sum you are trying to draw down from, when you select a trade in the trade column this will take the money from the provisional trade and assign it to a real trade when the provisional sum gets approved.
If the provisional sum you are trying to use has no value left you'll no longer be able to use that line, you will need to select the corresponding 'overspend' line for any amounts over an above the original allocation.
