Add a Change Event Line Item to an Unapproved Prime Potential Change Order
Background
If the Project level Prime Contracts tool is configured with the 2-tier change order configuration setting (see What are the different change order tier settings in Project Financials?), you must perform the Steps below before you can create a prime contract change order.
Tip
When do I create a potential change order? Procore recommends creating a potential change order only for any change event line item that is set to 'Out of Scope' and requires your client's or project owner's approval to proceed.
Note: If your project team is using Procore's A Request for Quote (RFQ) is a business process where a client requests a price quote from a collaborator, such as a subcontractor, vendor, or another supplier. The collaborator reviews the client's RFQ requirements and then responds by providing a written price quote. In Procore, RFQs are created after a change event occurs and helps the client to avoid incurring unexpected and costly alterations or substitutions.
When you create a potential change order, Procore can also be configured to automatically populate its SOV with the Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) is a rough numerical cost estimate that is used in the construction industry to gain a rough idea of the cost(s) to complete a project. ROM estimates are typically provided by a knowledgeable, high-level expert during the initiation/beginning phases of a project when there is still a high level of uncertainty about the project. ROM estimates are understood to have a lower level of accuracy than a definitive/conclusive estimate. Procore also provides an option for tracking potential revenue for change events using a Revenue ROM option that lets you use the latest cost amounts when changes are out of scope.
For In Scope or TBD change events, the potential change order populates with $0.
For Out of Scope change events, the potential change order populates from the RFQ. The RFQ must be in the Pending Final Approval status. If there is no RFQ, the system populates from the 'Cost ROM' value.
