What are the different RFQ statuses and how do they affect cost and change order amounts?

Answer

Below is a list of available Request for Quote (RFQ) statuses. Some status changes occur automatically and some must be manually change by a user. Some status changes also automatically update the 'Ball in Court' person assigned to the RFQ. Some status changes also affect the 'Latest Cost' amount for a change event line item and the amount is automatically updates in the project's change orders.

Automatic vs. Manual Status Changes

Automatic Status Changes

The followin status changes occur automatically. They can also be changed by user with 'Admin' level permissions on the Change Events tool:

  • Under Review
    This status occurs when the RFQ response is submitted with a cost and/or schedule impact and has not yet been reviewed. The Ball in Court is the RFQ creator. RFQs in this status will not affect the Latest Cost and the value will not be pulled into a corresponding change order. 
  • Closed

 Notes
  • If a change event line item Revenue ROM is set to “Automatically Follow Latest Cost”, then the RFQ status will also affect the Latest Cost that pulls into the Revenue ROM.
  • If a Prime CO is created for a change event line item, that value will override the RFQ value on Commitment Cost/CO creation.
  • If Revenue ROM columns are hidden, Prime CO values continue to respect the change event scope and will default to $0 for in-scope or TBD change events.
