Prime contract change orders (PCCOs)

After a change order is approved, you can create a PCCO and link it to potential change orders (PCOs). A PCCO can increase the value of the prime contract or increase the number of days allotted for completing the scope of work described in the prime contract.

The PCCO includes a banner that displays:

The number of days in the Approved Days field and in the banner are calculated automatically when you link PCOs. You can also enter the number but it's overwritten by the calculated total if you link or remove a PCO. The total isn't recalculated if you change the number of approved days in a linked PCO or if you delete the linked PCO.

When you create a PCCO, you must select the contract that the change is associated with.

  1. Enter a description for the PCCO.
  2. Click Create.

On the Prime Contract Change Order tab, you can add PCOs to link them to the PCCO, or you can add CORs to link their PCOs. The same COR can be added again to the PCCO to update the grid with new linked PCOs. However, if PCOs are removed from the COR and the COR is added again, the grid isn't updated.

  • The (Budget) Applied amount from the PCO becomes the Budget Approved Amount in the PCCO.
  1. Click Add COR.

    2. This option is only available for the PCCO with the highest sequence number for the contract.

  2. In the Search dialog, select the checkbox for the COR, and then click Select.

    3. The PCOs from the selected COR are added to the grid. In the selected COR, the PCCO number is added to the PCCO No. grid column.

    If PCOs are linked to the COR after it's selected in the PCCO, the new PCOs aren't added automatically to the grid in the PCCO. To update the grid, you can add the COR again.
