Overview
The Status is used to manage the Contract Change Order. See Contract Change Orders – Status for a description of all the Statuses, the functional impacts for a Status and see Contract Change Orders – Status - Where Used for where Status(es) are displayed and reported and how they are used.
The Contract Change Order Status can be changed to track the life cycle of the Change Order.
When viewing or editing a Contract Change Order, the Status displays at the top of the view/edit form - regardless of which component is displayed i.e. General, Schedule of Values or Financial Markup. The Status can be changed when any component is displayed and if a Status is changed from any of the components, it applies overall to the Change Order.
Changing the Status invokes an automatic save and no other save functions are required (i.e. the form could now be closed and the status change is retained as it is already saved). If other information is changed in the same session, prior to changing the status, changing the status will invoke the save automatically for all changes. However, any changes made after the status is changed would require that the save function to be invoked to save those changes.
To set the Status during the Edit
- Edit an existing Contract Change Order, see Contract Change Order - View/Edit.
The Contract Change Order View/Edit form displays with the Contract Number. The Related Contract is also listed (and can be clicked to exit the form and display that Contract). See Contract Change Order - View/Edit.
- To change the Contract Change Order Status, click in the Status drop down (it displays near the top of the form below the Contract Change Order # and the Related Contract and displays regardless of what Component is selected to display: General, Schedule of Values and Financial Markup).
The currently selected status is highlighted gray in the drop down list.
- Select the Status.
The new Status displays in the drop down list.
All the information about the Contract Change Order including the Status change is automatically saved and the form may update to reflect the functionality associated with the new status. For example, if the Contract Change Order was draft and was changed to approved and the Schedule of Values component was showing, the component display will change to indicate that the Schedule of Values can no longer be edited.
