Prerequisites

Steps

Follow these steps in these tasks to configure the settings for the Change Events tool:

Enable and Disable the Column Display

  1. Navigate to the project's Change Events tool.
  2. Click Configure Settings icons-settings-gear.png.
  3. Choose from these options to show or hide columns in the Change Events tool.
    Note:  The system turns all column displays on, by default. You can disable these columns by removing the checkmark. For a complete list of column's these settings affect, see How do the Change Event tool's column display settings work?
    • Display Revenue ROM, Latest Price, Latest Cost, and Over/Under Columns
      This checkbox turns the Revenue ROM columns ON and OFF. The default setting on new Procore projects is ON.
      • To enable the columns, place a checkmark in this checkbox. 
      • To disable the columns, remove the checkmark from this box. 
         Important
        • If you choose to disable these columns from the Change Events tool, the 'Revenue ROM' column continues to be available in prime contract change orders. To learn more about the Revenue ROM columns, see Add Financial Markup Lines with Revenue ROM to Change Events.
        • If you create a change event (see Create a Change Event) and select 'TBD' or 'In Scope' from the change event's Scope drop-down list, the 'Revenue ROM' field in the prime contract change order shows $0. If you choose 'Out of Scope,' the field shows the latest cost. 
    • Display UOM, Revenue Qty, Revenue Unit Cost, ROM Unit Qty, and ROM Unit Cost Columns
      This checkbox turns the unit-based columns ON and OFF in the view page of a change event. The default setting for this checkbox is OFF. 
      • To enable the columns, place a checkmark in this box.
      • To disable the columns, remove the checkmark from this box. 
         Notes
        • Removing the setting does NOT disable the columns when creating a change event. They are only hidden when viewing a change event. 
        • If your company is going to be creating change events from the T&M Tickets tool, it is recommended that you enable this setting. If you do not, the summarized line item information from a T&M ticket will not be visible in a change event. See Create a Change Event from a T&M Ticket.
  4. Click Save.

Maintain Budget Codes Across All Line Items in Sync

Change event line items associated with change orders will now be editable as long as the change order is also in an editable state. How are line items and budget codes updated across change objects?

When users update budget codes they will sync across linked change objects if those objects are also in an editable state.

  1. Navigate to the project's Change Events tool.
  2. Click Configure Settings icons-settings-gear.png.
  3. Check the box next to Maintain Budget Codes across all Line Items in sync.
  4. Click Save.

Note: This setting is NOT retroactive. Budget codes that were not matching between objects before enabling this setting will not automatically sync upon activation. Only budget codes changed after enabling this setting will sync between objects.

Set Attachment Settings

 Tip

These settings can be turned ON and OFF on your project by a user with 'Admin' permission on the Change Events tool.  When the configuration settings are enabled, the system automatically attaches any documentation from the last RFQ response to new prime potential change orders and new commitment change orders when using the Bulk Actions menu to create change orders.

  1. Navigate to the project's Change Events tool.
  2. Click Configure Settings icons-settings-gear.png.
  3. Choose from these options to include RFQ attachments in new change orders:

Configure the Budget ROM Settings

You can define the business logic that Procore users to automatically complete the 'Rough Order of Magnitude' value of a budget change. If the budget view assigned to a project includes the 'Budget ROM' column, the value is automatically populated in that project's budget when users create and edit budget changes. See Create Budget Changes).

  2. Click Configure Settings icons-settings-gear.png.
  3. Scroll to the Budget ROM section. 
  4. Choose Latest Cost, Latest Price, or None from the following drop-down lists to define how the budget change feature handles the 'Scope' setting for a change event in your project's budget:
    change-events-budget-rom-settings.png 
    • Budget ROM for In Scope. This drop-down list applies your selected setting to changes that are marked 'In Scope'. 
    • Budget ROM for Out of Scope. This drop-down list applies your selected setting to changes that are marked 'Out of Scope'. 
    • Budget ROM for TBD Scope.  This drop-down lists applies your selected setting to changes that are marked 'TBD' (to be determined). 
  5. Click Save. 
 Tip
  • The 'Budget ROM' amount in Procore can always be edited manually by project users. 
  • To learn how to add a 'Budget ROM' source column for your budget changes to a Procore budget view, see Add a 'Budget ROM' Column to a Budget View.

Prevent Budget Changes and Prime Change Orders on the Same Change Event Line Item

This setting will only become available when your company account has Budget Changes turned 'ON'.

  2. Click Configure Settings icons-settings-gear.png.
  3. Scroll to the Budget Changes section. 
  4. Check the box next to Prevent Budget Changes and Potential Change Orders on the Same Change Event Line Item.

Note: A Prime Contract for Markup Estimates must be selected on a change event before markup can be edited on individual line items. See Add Estimated Markup to a Single Change Event.

  1. Navigate to the project's Change Events tool. 
  2. Locate the change event with the financial markup (vertical) to be edited and click its number to view the change event.

  5. Changes are saved automatically once you click outside of the experience. 
 Important notes!
  • If you manually enter a markup value, it will no longer stay updated with the prime contract's markup settings.

    • To reapply the contracted financial markup to the change event line items, the user must remove the current financial markup from the change event then complete the steps list here: Add Estimated Markup to a Single Change Event.

Creation of Prime Contract Change Orders from Change Events with Edited Markup
  • When users create a Prime Contract Change Order from a change event with the edited financial markup, the Prime Contract Change Order will inherit the edited financial markup percentages entered on the change event.
  • Only vertical markup can be edited on a change event
  • There are some scenarios where edited financial markup in change events will not be able to pass to the Prime Contract Change Order due to complexity and the possibility of conflicting markup rules and logic. 
  • In the following scenarios, the user will have to edit the change order markup in the Prime Contract Change Order Schedule of Values.
    Note: Edited markups will remain in the change event, but the new Prime Contract Change Order will use the selected prime contract markup rules
    • When multiple change events are used to create a change order.
    • When adding change event line items to an existing Prime Contract Change Order with markup logic already applied
    • Creating a new Prime Contract Change Order from a change event where the selected prime contract conflicts with the change events 'Prime Contract for Markup Estimates' field
