Entering a Contract Change Order

Use this procedure to define and maintain contract change orders. You can change the contract amounts for each posting activity within a contract. When the contract change order is released, the total contract amount is updated on Contract Parameters (BR10.1), and each posting activity's amount is updated on Contract Detail (BR10.2).

To enter a contract change order

  1. Access Contract Change Orders (BR22.1).
  2. Select the contract for which you want to enter a change order.
  3. Use the Load special action to load the posting activities for the selected contract.
  4. Use the following guidelines to enter field values:
