Jason hits the nail on the head.

If the user puts data in an incorrect field and later replaces the field with a zero, the data element stays on its previous value. This is confusing because the form gives no feedback to why it will not update the value.
I am advising our data entry folks that there is no need to input zeros, but old habits die hard.

Title:
  Replacing Number with Zero does not update Value in Data Entry

Status in DHIS 2:
  New

Bug description:
  Replacing a Data Element's value with a 0 will not update the database
  (Number remains green, and derived indicators also will not update).

  To circumvent, you must remove the 0 (or whatever number was there)
  all together so that the data element is now blank. Then it will
  briefly turn yellow and all indicators based on this data element will
  automatically update.
