When adding a Contract Change Order, the Status defaults to Draft (but can be changed during the add if required).
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.
Note* If the Status is changed during the Add, the changed Status displays however, the new Status isn't actually applied until the Change Order is saved. Therefore, during the add session, all the functionality on all the components is still based on the Draft Status (and not necessarily the Status displayed).
To change the Contract Status during the Add, click in the Status drop down (it displays near the top of the form below the New Contract Change Order form title and Related Contract and displays regardless of what Component is selected to display: General, Schedule of Values and Financial Markup).
This list of Contract Change Order Statuses display. The currently selected status is highlighted with a gray bar in the drop down list. Also, any status that is hovered on is highlighted with a gray bar.
Select the Status by clicking on it.
The selected Status displays. Note* At this point, the status is not yet changed. The Contract Change Order must be saved to save and apply the Status change.
