How to remove items from an active contract

Once a contract has been signed or made active manually, the line items are no longer able to be edited. This is because after the client has signed, any changes made are designed to be added as change orders, so that they can also be sent out for approval to the client, with a corresponding document on file for reference. In this case, to remove a line item from the contract or to decrease the value of the contract, you can add a negative change order to reflect the amount that the contract is being decreased by.
