STAAD Pro Output - Reactions not matching up with Applied Loading

Cover Plate 4.stdHi,

I am modeling a plate on STAAD Pro with a point load through a hole in the plate in the negative Y direction.  I have also inputted a self weight going in the positive Z direction.  After generating a finite element mesh and running the analysis, the resulting reactions do not match up with the applied force.  What am I doing wrong?

The resulting reaction in Fy is 0 and the reaction in Fz is not adding up.  Have I defined the reactions incorrectly?

Thanks,

Jacky
