Mark Project as Approved

 

Change Order functionality does not become active until you approve a Project. To approve a Project, make sure the Project is checked-out to you and then click the [Mark Project as Approved] button in the ribbon of the Project Explorer:

Note: There are User Group Permission Settings to determine which user's can mark Projects as approved/unapproved.

 

This will bring up the following interface:

The Status of the Project will default to the first Status in your list that has its State set to "Won".

 

When a Project is marked as approved, the following things happen:

 

All items are marked as approved and price fields are locked

The Unit Price, Margin, Markup, Phase, and Labor Hours fields will not be editable.

 

All Optional and Alternate Items are removed from the Project

 

A Revision will be created

In addition to a Revision being created, the ability to manually create Revisions will be disabled.

 

A checkmark will display in the "Approved" column in the Project Explorer:

No Change Orders are automatically created. You will be prompted to create a Change Order when you attempt to delete or add items in an approved Project. Click here for details.

Mark Project as Unapproved
