Create a Change Order

Once you've established Contracts in ProjectTeam, you can start creating Change Orders against those Contracts.

You can initiate a Change Order from the Change Order log or you can create from existing Potential Change Orders. Either way, the fields of the form are the same.

Creating Change Orders from the Change Order Form Type:

1. Within the project click the Forms icon on the left navigation pane.
   
2. Use the Search box to type ch to easily locate the Change Orders form.
   
3. The Change Orders shared with me log opens. Click either the New button at the top of the pane or the Create New Change Order button at the bottom of the form.
   
4. The User will be prompted to choose a contract. Use the Search box at the top of the form to easily location the contract and select the contract by using the radio buttons to the left of the contract subject. Once selected click the Choose Contract button at the bottom of the form.
   
5. Enter data into the required field Subject. The Contract Reference, Change Order Type, Change Order #, From Business and Contact, and To Business and Contact will automatically populate with information contained in the Contract selected.
   
   

   Note:

   The following fields are non-editable and are populated based upon data from either previous approved Change Orders or the Contract selected.

   Contract Reference
   The first step in creating a new Change Order is selecting a Contract. The Contract Reference field is a concatenation of the selected Contract # and Contract Subject fields. 

   Change Order Type
   The Change Order Type is derived from the Contract Type. There are two options for this field, either "Contract" or "Subcontract" and they match the two options available on the Contract form.

   Change Order #
   Number automatically increments based on the Contract selected. For example, if you already have 3 existing Change Orders against a Contract and the are numbered 0001, 0002 and 0003, the next one created will 0004. The number will always be one digits more than the previous.
