NC partnership return with zero apportionment

[EricF]

We have some partnership returns for LLCs organized in North Carolina, but with all property in another state.  In ATX apportionment I enter the income and assets in the state where they belong, and zero in the North Carolina column.  I get a red error message as follows:

                If Part 4 Section B Line 9 or Line 10 is populated with a non-zero value [the partner is allocated income or loss], then Part 2 [apportionment] must be present [it is] and Part 4 Line 12 [apportionment factor applied to allocated income] must equal the apportionment factor from Part 2 [it does.  It’s zero].

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if ATX needs to correct its programming to allow zero apportionment in NC?

If I remember correctly, this issue arose last in more than one place in the ATX software and the workaround was to enter .0001
