Objective

To send a change order created in an estimate to the Change Events tool.

Background

After you have created a change order in the Estimating tool, you can use the 'Create a New Change Event' or 'Update Existing Change Event' options to copy and export line items from that change order into the project's Change Events tool. The cost codes and amounts on the estimate will also be updated on the project's budget. 

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions
  • Your company must be licenced for Procore's Project Financials tools.
  • The Change Events tool must be turned ON in your project.
