Job Billing - Change Orders and the Bill

Change orders are entered through either the Change Management module or CMiC Field. Please refer to the associated manuals for details. Change orders can affect the owner contract, and therefore affect job billing. Change orders appear in job billing by three different ways:

• As an increase or decrease to existing billing items

  When a change order is posted against a billing item that exists within the original contract, the change order will not appear as a separate line item. Rather, the change order will be reflected as an increase, or decrease to the contract amount on the existing billing line item.

• As a separate line item

  When a change order is posted against a billing item that is not used in the original contract, the change order will appear as a new line item.

• As a Future Release

  When a change order has been entered while a billing exists but has not been posted the change order will appear in the change order pop-up as a future release, but the status can be changed to current to be included in the current billing.
