(Beta) Approve Head Contracts

Objective

To change the status of a head contract for a construction project to 'Approved.'

Background

After the head contract is created, you can follow the steps in Update the Schedule of Values on a Head Contract. Once the line items on the SOV are complete and the agreement between the project owner and your company is finalised, you can place the contract into the Approved status. This action allows your project team to begin creating variations (see Create a Head Contract Variation), head contract progress claim (see Create an Owner Progress Claim) and payments issued (see Create a Payment Issued).
