Change Management - PCI - Detail - Tab

This tab is used to enter lines to change the JC budget amount and/or JB revenue (contract) amount of bill codes.

For details about creating PCIs, please refer to Change Management - PCI Basics.

[Show Rates], [Hide Rates] – Buttons

Click [Show Rates] to display the Estimated Rate, Quoted Rate and Final Rate columns, which are used with the WM and Quantity fields to calculate the Estimated Amount, Quoted Amount and Final Amount fields.

Click [Hide Rates] to hide these columns.

[Calc. Markups] – Button

This button is enabled for unposted PCIs.

Click to apply all relevant markups. For details, please refer to Change Management - PCI Markup Rules.

[Allowance Tracking] – Button

This button’s pop-up is used to implement the Allowance Tracking functionality, which provides the ability to enter T&M amounts submitted by subcontractors against allowance type PCIs into any cost code/category designated as that type.

The Allowance Tracking functionality is also implemented using the In Scope Allowance Category and Out Of Scope Allowance Category fields on the CM Control File screen, and the Allowance field on the General tab of this screen.

This button is enabled if the Allowance field on the General tab is set to "Out Of Scope" or "T&M Tracking".

If the category in the PCI detail does not match the type of allowance, when this button is clicked, a message is displayed, and no allowance tracking information is allowed in such a case.

Initially, when the Subcontract change code and task code are pulled into the PCI detail, the estimated, quoted, final and billing amounts get updated with the Subcontract amount.

When the Allowance Tracking pop-up is updated with amounts, these update the PCI detail, depending on the type of allowance.

Owner

Projected Balance = Owner Allowance – Total of right-most value (of Estimated, Invoiced and Approved)

Contractor

Allowance = Amount from the subcontract for that all PCI detail lines with that Allowance Type category

Projected Balance = Allowance – Total of right-most value (of Estimated, Invoiced and Approved)

Projected to Date = Total of right-most value (of Estimated, Invoiced and Approved)

NOTE:  Zero is considered as an amount, and null is not considered an amount.

Markup − Checkbox

This checkbox is used to indicate if a line will be using markups. When checked, only the selected lines will have markups applied, if the job, cost code, and category satisfy the markup rules. Check/uncheck the checkboxes to calculate/remove the markups for the PCI lines, and use the [Calc. Markups] button to apply the changes. The 'Markup' checkbox is checked by default.

To learn more about how this feature is used, refer to Change Management - Using Selective Markups for PCIs.

Vendor, Contract

If the bill code to which the change applies is handled by a subcontract, use the Vendor field to select the vendor handling the subcontract, and the Contract field to select the subcontract.

Cost code templates are maintained in the Cost Code Template Maintenance screen in the Job Costing module (standard Treeview path: Job Costing > Setup > Local Tables > Cost Code Template). For more information, please refer to Use Quick Cost Code/Category Insert.

Billing Code

Enter the billing code associated with this line item. The system provides for the entry of bill codes in three different ways:

  • The billing code can be selected from the master list of codes, which has not yet been used within the original contract.

The Billing Code is not a required field if the contract is of the direct AR billing type.

This field is read-only for markup lines, which inherit the status from the corresponding base detail line. Please note that it is the user’s responsibility to recalculate the markups if there are any changes in the amounts, statuses, or OCO numbers of the base lines to ensure the generated markup lines are accurate.

OCO No

If applicable, select the associated Owner Change Order.

This field is read-only for markup lines, which inherit the OCO number from the corresponding base detail line. Please note that it is the user’s responsibility to recalculate the markups if there are any changes in the amounts, statuses, or OCO numbers of the base lines to ensure the generated markup lines are accurate.

Long Description

Description about PCI. After a PCI is posted, this field is read-only and uneditable unless the 'CMLGDSCPCI - Allow To Modify Long Description On Posted PCI' system privilege on the User Maintenance screen has been granted for the user. When this system privilege is enabled, the Long Description field on the Detail tab becomes editable for posted PCIs. Users can update the description even after the PCI is posted.

NOTE: This functionality is limited to the ADF screen. The JSP screen for PCI entry does not allow long descriptions to be edited on posted PCIs.
