Still following? Great. Let's tackle a special case for DMUP and client amount. What if DMUP was -100%? This indicates the client should not be charged for the expense. Therefore the client amount is always $0. But what if you enter $100 instead of $0 in your cost plan? The math to compute the disbursed amount is impossible. In this case Projector just sets the disbursed amount to zero and there is a mismatch. Default markup percentages of 100% and negative 100% cause some special things to occur. 

• If you have an expense type with a default markup percentage of negative 100%, and you enter a client amount of $100, then the disbursed and expense amounts are impossible to back calculate. In this case Projector leaves them at zero. This behavior allows you to plan costs which result in 100% revenue. You can use this same setup to model costs that are all expense. By entering an expense amount, it will be written down to zero client amount. There is of course a caveat to this. If you have Treat Costs as Fees enabled, then we can indeed back calculate from client amount to disbursed and expense amount. In that case all three have the same value.
• If you have an expense type with a default markup percentage of positive 100%, and you enter an expense amount of $100, then the disbursed and client amounts are impossible to back calculate. In this case Projector leaves them at zero. Although this behavior is analagous to the negative markup example, this behavior of creating zero disbursed and client amounts does not seem useful. I can't imagine a scenario where you would want zero disbursed amount, but an actual expense amount.
