Processing the Subcontractor Variation Request

A contractor can access the variation requests in the Portal if the Services-Buyer with Modify permission is defined in the Authorizations for Internal Roles (tcclb0125m000) session.

The contractor can view the variation requests submitted by the subcontractor using the Show variation request option on the Subcontracting Procurement Orders page. These variation requests can be filtered based on the Status, Pending actions, and All options. The variation requests can also be accessed from the subcontracting procurement order.

The contractor can perform these actions:

  • Reject the variation request using the Decline option at the line or header level.
  • Accept the variation request using the Accept option.
  • Propose new values as a part of negotiation and submit the request for the approval of the subcontractor.
  • Keep the line to be discussed at a later stage using the Defer option.
  • Decline line, Delete the self created line before any negotiation has started on that line.
  • Create a new line using the Add option.
  • Modify the line type and project details, including cost component, activity, and element of a new line that is created for a SVR.
    Note: If the Line type is modified, the contractor can hover over the information icon to view the change in the line type.
  • The info icon indicates that the master data has been modified by the contractor. This icon is displayed when an SVR is negotiated.

A contractor can respond to a variation request at the header and line level. When the contractor accepts the variation request, a new variation request is generated in LN. The contractor can approve and process the variation request using the Approve and Process options in the Subcontracting Procurement Order Variation Request (tdpur6600m400) session, in LN.

Note: If the accepted SVR have lines that have been deferred, after the request is generated from the Portal and is processed in LN then a subsequent SVR is created automatically with all the previous negotiations for the deferred lines.
