Link a Bill of Quantities Line Item to a Change Event Line Item
Objective
To link a line Bill of Quantities (BOQ) line item from a commitment, commitment variation or main contract variation to a line item on a change event.
Background
There are three (3) ways to link an existing variation or a commitment to a change event line item:
- Use the Bulk Actions menu option to create a variation or commitment line item from the change event. First, add a change event line item to commitment or a variation while it is in an unapproved status. For commitments and commitment variations, see Add a Change Event Line Item to an Unapproved Commitment or Add a Change Event Line Item to an Unapproved Commitment VAR. For main contract variations, see Add a Change Event Line Item to an Unapproved Main PV.

You can use the steps below to create a link between a BOQ line item on a commitment, commitment variation or main contract variation to a change event line item.
