An extra or change order is not in contract value

Only approved changes add to contract value and budget.

Steps

  1. Open the job's Change orders section and check the change status.
  2. Draft, Submitted and Rejected values are separate. Set Approved only after the customer has actually approved the change, with a valid approval date.
  3. An approved change adds its price and cost budget once. Invoicing that change does not add it to the contract a second time.
  4. Update Future costs still to come yourself to include the work still needed.
  5. An invoiced change is locked. ClearDesk IQ supports added scope. Record a reduction as a correct adjustment to the original contract; it cannot go below what is already invoiced.

Check that it worked

Approved added price appears in contract value; pending added price remains separately listed.
