Create a Commitment Change Order from a Funding Change Order
Important
This tutorial is intended to be used by Procore users who have NOT enabled the Change Events tool on a project.
Objective
To create a commitment change order from a funding change order or a funding potential change order.
Background
Only use these steps when the project's Change Events tool is NOT enabled on your project:
- One (1) Tier Change Orders:
- On the Funding Tool
When the one (1) tier setting is configured on the Funding tool, the change management process starts with creating a funding change order.
- On the Commitments Tool
When the one (1) tier setting is configured on the Commitments tool, you can start by creating a commitment change order.
- Two (2) or Three (3) Tier Change Orders:
- On the Funding Tool
When the two (2) or three (3) tier setting is configured on the Funding tool, you will start by creating a potential change order.
- On the Commitments Tool
When the two (2) or three (3) tier setting is configured on the Commitments tool, create a potential change order for a commitment.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Funding tool.
- Additional Information:
- Use the steps below only when the Change Events tool is NOT active on the project. When the Change Events tool is active, follow the steps in Create a Commitment Change Order from a Change Event.
- After creating a funding change order, you can issue and approve a commitment change order for the contractor from the Schedule of Values (SOV) of the potential change order.
- You can also compare the commitment change order to the corresponding line item on the funding's potential change order and view any variance between them.
Important
The steps below describe how to create a commitment change order from a potential change order. However, you can use the same steps when creating a commitment change order from a funding potential change order, funding change order, or a commitment potential change order.
