Contract Change Order - Add - Status
Suggested Prior Reading
Overview
The Status is used to manage the Contract Change Order. See Contract Change Orders – Status for a description of all the Statuses, and the functional impacts and see Contract Change Orders – Status - Where Used for where Status(es) are displayed and reported and how they are used.
When adding a Contract Change Order, the Status defaults to Draft (but can be changed during the add if required). See Contract - New Change Order.
The Status displays near the top of the New Contract Change Order form, and displays there regardless of which Contract Change Order component is selected: General, Schedule of Values, Financial Markup. The status can be changed when any of those Components are displayed as it is the status for the entire Contract Change Order.
If the Status is changed during the Add, the Status change is automatically saved without any further actions required. In addition, if the Contract Status is changed, the form layout may change if there is different functionality associated with the new Status.
