Unchecking project update in PM Interface will still send the update to JC

If you have a project update and a new subcontract sitting in PM Interface and you uncheck the project update because you only want to interface the subcontract, the project update will still be interfaced even though you unchecked it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new project in PM Projects.
2. Add a couple phase/cost type combos in PM Project Phases. Have at least one of these phase have a subcontractor cost type.
3. Interface this new project.
4. Go back to PM Project Phases and add a new phase/cost type combo.
5. Open PM Subcontract Detail and create a subcontract for one of the phases created in step 2 that has already been inerfaced.
6. Approve the subcontract.
7. Open PM Interface - you should see the subcontract and the project update ready to interface.
8. Uncheck the project update (you aren't ready to interface the new phase yet). You only want the subcontract to interface.
9. Click interface - both items dissappear and interface.
10. Check JC Job Phases - the phase that was in the project update that was unchecked is now interfaced to JC (this phase had nothing to do with the subcontract being interfaced).
