Create a Funding Change Order from a Change Event
Objective
To create a Funding Change Order from a change event.
Background
If the Change Events tool is enabled on your project, your project's change order tier configuration setting (see What are the different change order tier settings in Project Financials?) determines the number of steps leading up to creating a funding change order.
- If the 1-tier change order setting is enabled, you will simply use the steps below to create a funding change order from a change event.
- If the 2-tier change order setting is enabled, you will complete the first step in the change management process, Create a Potential Change Order for a Funding, before using the steps below.
- If the 3-tier change order setting is enabled, you will complete the first two steps in the change management process, Create a Potential Change Order for a Funding, and Create a Change Order Request, before using the steps below.
Tips
Are you inviting your downstream collaborators to submit bids for goods and services using formal RFQs?
If your project team has opted to use Procore's Request for Quote (RFQ) process (see Create RFQs from a Change Event), you do NOT have to wait until the RFQ process is complete to create your funding change order. However, after invited collaborators respond to RFQs and its status is set to 'Pending Final Approval,' Procore does automatically update the change order's Schedule of Values (SOV) with the appropriate amounts from the RFQ.
To learn more about how the RFQ process affects funding change orders, see What are the different RFQ statuses and how do they affect cost and change order amounts?
Are you using the Revenue ROM function?
If your project team has opted to use the Revenue ROM function, the SOV on your funding change order is also automatically updated. If you have hidden the Revenue ROM function, any automatic updates depend upon the scope of the change event:
- When change events are 'In Scope' or 'TBD', the change order's schedule of values is automatically updated with a $0 value.
- When change events are 'Out of Scope', the change order's schedule of values is automatically updated using the data in the RFQ. This update occurs when the RFQ status is set to 'Pending Final Approval.'
- When change events are not in one of the above statuses, the change order's schedule of values is automatically updated using the 'Cost ROM'.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Change Events tool.
AND - 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Funding tool.
Notes
For users with 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Funding tool to perform this task, the following must also be true:- The user must be added to the 'Private' drop-down list of the prime contract. See Create Fundings.
- If the project is configured to use the two (2) or three (3) tier change order setting (see What are the different change order tier settings in Project Financials?), the 'Allow Standard Users to Create PCO's' checkbox setting must be enabled. See Configure Settings: Funding.
- 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Change Events tool.
- Required Configuration Setting:
- To complete the steps below, you must enable the 1-tier configuration setting for Client Contract Change Orders. See Configure the Number of Funding Change Order Tiers.
- Additional Information:
- After you create a change event, you can also create an RFQ to send to the affected collaborator(s). See Create RFQs.'
- If your company has enabled the ERP Integrations tool, keep these items in mind:
- QuickBooks® Desktop:
- Funding change order exports are NOT supported.
- Sage 100 Contractor®:
- Funding change order exports are NOT supported.
- Sage 300 CRE®:
- Title. The change order title must be 30 characters or less.
- Number (#). The change order number be five (5) characters or less.
- Status. The funding must be in the Approved status.
- Associated Line Item. For each line item that you add to the change order's Schedule of Values (SOV), you may designate one (1) associated line item for each change order line item or the same associated line item for all change order line items. Note: The Associated Line Item list is only visible and available when the ERP Integrations tool has been configured to work with Sage 300 CRE® and the export prime contract change orders capability has been switched on in Procore by your Integration Implementation Specialist.
- Integración de Procore:
