Estimate amounts, quantities (units), and production units from change requests update in Job Cost when you click the Next Action button in the Change Request window and then select Update Job Estimate. The Update Job Estimate window opens, and you can choose whether to send the estimate to Job Cost as Pending or Approved.

Correct an approved estimate amount

Modify the existing change request cost/estimate amount.

After you update the cost estimate to Job Cost, any changes you make to it automatically update in Job Cost when you save the change request. The estimate amount that was previously sent is replaced with the amount currently on the Price/Cost Estimate tab. Transactions are created in Job Cost for each item change. One transaction reverses the original transaction and a second transaction enters the new amount of the estimate.

Remove the entire estimate change order

If the change request is not linked to a change order

Change the status of the Change Request to Voided or Denied. This sends reversals to Job Cost for the pending changes.

If the change request is linked to a change order

1. Confirm you have permission to make changes to an approved change order or change request.
2. From the Contract Control menu, select Change Orders.
3. Change the Status to Not Issued and click Save.
   Note: This also removes the Approved Schedule of Value changes in Contracts and Job Cost. Do this to completely remove the approved estimate changes. Once you remove the changes, you can reattach the items to the change order. Approve the change order again to update the job estimate and send the changes back to the contract and job.
4. Right-click on the triangle on the left side of the change request line and select Remove, then Save and Close.
5. In Project Management, go to Contract Control, Change Requests.
6. Change the Status dropdown to Denied or Voided.
7. If message appears that Cost Estimate Will be Removed From Job Cost, click OK.
8. Click Save.
9. On Edit Approved Transactions message click OK. We recommend that you leave the date as the original date so that sends an in/out to Job Cost.
10. To reuse the change request after making modifications, change the Status dropdown to Not Issued and click Save, make changes to the cost estimate and price tab as needed and Click Save.
11. Click Close.
