Initiate Variation Request

You can initiate a variation request after the SPO is approved and the Print Service Procurement activity is applicable and executed.

These modifications on the SPO line level are included:

  • Variation of the SPO line amount (Amount Only)
  • Variation of the SPO line quantity (Quantity and Rate)
  • Variation of the SPO line quantity unit (Quantity and Rate)
  • Variation of the SPO line procurement rate and unit (Quantity and Rate and Rate Only)
  • New SPO line

Create a variation request using the Initiate Variation Request option from the Actions menu in the Subcontracting Procurement Order (tdpur6600m000) session. The status of the new variation request is displayed as Initial. When a variation request is initiated for a SPO, the field that can be modified through the variation request cannot be adjusted in the original SPO and SPO line.

  • When a variation request is Open, call off lines cannot be created, updated, or deleted.
  • When a variation request is Open (Variation request status is Initial, Modified, or approved), Application for Payment can still be created for the SPO without the modifications from the variation request. However, the final AFP cannot be created.
  • The Recalculate Rates option is disabled when the variation request status is set to Initial, Modified, or Approved.
