Externally Approve Contract Change Order
Explanation
After information has been submitted to the relevant external approvers their approval or rejection in return
should be recorded. Use this activity to update information about when and why an external contact person has
approved a contract change order (CCO). The approval of all the external approvers of the CCO is required before it
is considered as externally approved by the system.
Note: Information about the external approval from each contact person can be viewed in the Contract Change
Order/History tab.
Prerequisites
- The CCO should have a change type that requires external approval.
- A contact person who is classified as external approver should be defined for at least one address in the
Contract Change Order/Contacts tab.
- The CCO should be in the Submittal Approved status.
System Effects
- The external Approved Date field in the Contract Change Order/General tab is updated when all external
approvers have approved the CCO.
- The Approved Date field in the Contract Change Order/Contacts tab is updated for the contacts who have
approved the CCO.
