About change orders

You can use the change order functionality to control changes to a project’s budgeted and committed values and control the profitability of every change initiated by a customer. A change order is a document for profitability analysis and an audit trial of changes to the project revenue budget, commitments, and budgeted costs.
Change orders do not alter the original figures of a project directly; they are tracked separately from the original figures for analysis.

With the help of change orders, you can do the following:

• Record changes to the project revenue budget, cost budgets, and commitments.
• Review the list of change orders related to a project on the Change orders tab of the Projects (PM301000) window.
• See the changes for each purchase order as well as the original and committed values in the Commitments (PM306000) window.
• See the list of change orders that affect the purchase order on the Change orders tab of the Purchase orders (PO301000) window.
• See the profitability of every change of the project budget initiated by the customer.

Change orders are available when the Change orders functionality is enabled in the Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000) window.

Change orders are managed in the Change orders (PM308000) window.
