Objective

To add a variation to the Contract Room in Portfolio Financials.

Background

The Contract Room is a shared portal where vendors can submit variations and progress claims directly to the project team for approval throughout the duration of the project. The Variations tab of the Contract Room is where variations can be added and reviewed.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
  • Additional Information:
    • Progress Claims and variations are typically added by a contact on the vendor team, but can also be added by a member of your project team. The interface for vendors is nearly identical, except vendors cannot see your budget.
    • If your organisation has the 'Variation Breakdowns' feature enabled for your account, you can choose to break down costs for a variation. See Add a Broken Down Variation in the Steps section below. 

Steps

  1. Navigate to the relevant Contract Room by clicking the name of the cost item in the project's Cost Tracker. 
    Note: Cost items with a Contract Room are marked with a ribbon icon-ribbon-pfcp.png icon.
  2. Click the Variations tab.
  3. Click Add Variation.
