ricfly744, you probably have a company restriction. I remember my old company would not allow a loadsheet to be generated with <25T fuel.
There is also a limit where a minimum of 15% derate is required for low weight/aft cg (ie ferry flight) in order to avoid tailstrikes on rotation. I don't have the page to hand, but it is in various manuals, Weight & Balance included.
