Some important points to remember about change order requests:

• COR numbers cannot be changed manually.

• A COR number is unique within an agreement. You can have several CORs with the same COR number but different agreements.

• If a COR is rejected in the approval process, the status of the COR is not automatically rejected. In order to reject it, you must select the Rejected check box on the Change Order Requests page and specify a further action: proceed with work or do not proceed with work.

• You cannot add a new price breakdown item on the Change Order Requests page if it already exists in the supplements of the agreement, or on the Schedule of Values tab on the Subcontract Administration page.

• You can specify an agreement number as part of the COR number used during COR number generation.

• You can decrement subcontract cost and schedule on the Maintain Agreements page by entering negative values in the Material Total, Labor Total, Construction Equipment Total, Consumables Total, and Others Total cells. After assigning the COR to the agreement, you must adjust and remove the negative values on Maintain Agreements (Line Items and Schedule of Values tabs). Otherwise, you will not be able to approve the agreement or leave the screen.

  We strongly recommend NOT to delete the line items with negative values. If you do, the COR will be available again on the COR Workload page to create another CO. Just leave the line items with 0 values instead of negative values.

• You can run the report on the Change Order Requests page to view details about change order requests such as price breakdown, labor hours, and submitted, approved, and rejected data.

• Only users with the ADMIN SUBCONTRACT privilege can be used as contractors.

• A subcontractor cannot see the PCO fields on the Change Order Requests page.

In some situations, you might want to control agreement changes over the COR, but the subcontractor does not use the E-Supplier functionality. In this case, you as the contractor can create and handle the CORs on behalf of the subcontractor.
