In PM Pending Change Orders, Estimate/Purchase Details, highlight the warning Phase <> Contract Item

It's very important in our cost plus fee jobs, that we keep the phase estimates and contract item amounts in balance.  If you enter a phase that is not assigned to the contract item you gave in the PCO item, the system does generate a warning message, but it blends in with all the other information above the tabs.

We are dying for an option that makes that message red and bold to tell the PM's they need to fix something before approving and interfacing the PCO.  It seems like that would be an easy change and I've been asking for it since 6.8.

Even better would be an option to not allow users to assign phases to the wrong contract item.  I can see how hard bid firms would not want this restriction, but we'd turn it on in a heartbeat.
