Untransfer only one line of head contract variation

When untransferring a Head Contract variation (eg to allocate to a subcontract), the whole variation (which may have dozens of lines) is untransferred. When it is retransferred, the cost centres budget lines are repopulated back to the PMW as new forecast costs. This is unnecessary as perhaps budget has already been committed which introduces duplication, needing to remove the forecast line. Doing this over and over again each time a HC variation is untransferred makes it very painful. In fact, we usually just do a new internal variation to add a subcontract variation, even when associated with HC variation.


If there was an ability to untransfer only one line of a HC variation, then managing the implications of duplicate cost forecasting would be much easier and we would link SC variations to HC variations like the system is designed to do.
