Add a Change Event Line Item to an Unapproved Commitment CO

Objective

To add a change event line item to an unapproved commitment change order.

Background

If the Commitments tool is configured with the 2-tier change order setting, you can add a change event line item to a commitment potential change order when the potential change order is in an unapproved status. You can then create a commitment change order using the Commitments tool. To learn more about change order tiers, see What are the different change order tier settings in Project Financials?

You can add a change event line item to a commitment change order either before or after the Request for Quote (RFQ) has been responded to. If you wait until the RFQ has been responded to, the Schedule of Values on the commitment change order populates with amounts from the RFQ.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Change Events tool.
  AND
- 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Commitments tool.
Additional Information:
- You can only add change event line items to commitment change orders that do not have the status of 'Approved.'
