This new widget is a prerequisite update for a future release of a new submittal workflow, which will support multiple groups of parallel approvers.

CHANGE EVENTS & CHANGE MANAGEMENT
-
Now Pulling Latest Cost Into Main Potential Variation (Prime PV)
When creating a Main PV in change events using bulk actions, the bill of quantities will populate with the latest cost amount. For instance, if there is ROM and no other cost objects, the Main PV will populate with the ROM Amount. If there is ROM and an RFQ, the Main PV will populate with the RFQ amount. If there is ROM, an RFQ and a Commitment, the Main PV will populate with the Commitment amount.-
Why? It makes sense that the variation going to the owner should have the latest cost.
-
-
Added A New Reporting Tool: Change Event Summary
Added a new reporting tool for Change Events Next Gen called 'Change Event Summary'. This will eventually replace the old Change Events tool.-
Why? Project Managers were requesting a summary version of the Change Events insights.

-
- DIRECT COSTS
- Workflow Now Available
Updated the create New Direct Cost page so users can now configure workflow and user roles. You can also now use the Edit Direct Cost page to change your project's workflow, user roles, as well as to assign reminder emails and add members to a distribution list. Statuses cannot be edited.- Why? Direct cost payment applications and expenses sometime require an approval workflow. This has been a highly requested feature and follows other workflow paradigms.
