About change order status

In the header, you can assign a status to the entire change order. On the Budget and Sub Change Detail tab, you can also assign a status to each line in the grid of a subcontract change order.

For example the status of the change order record in the header can be 2—Open, and the setting for a line in the grid under Status on the Budget and Sub Change Details tab can be set to 1—Approved. With a line in grid set to 1—Approved, that line can be invoiced while leaving the entire record with a status of 2—Open.

Note: Changing the status of the change order record to 6-Rejected rejects the entire change order. For consistency in functions and on reports, you should also mark as 6-Rejected the lines on the Budget and Sub Change Detail tab.
