Requesting Variations
You can request a variation to increase or decrease your contract value on a project.
To request a variation:
- From the Enter Billing Details page, use the More drop-down menu to select Request Variations. You can also access the Request Variations page from the My Contract menu.
- From the Request Variation dialogue box, enter a number, title, and description for the variation request. These are all required fields.
- Number: An identifying number for the variation request
- Title: A heading for the variation request
- Description: Details of the works covered under the variation request
- Optional. Upload a variation attachment.
- Enter a monetary value to request a change to your budget.
- Optional. Select the Work Started tick box to indicate your organisation already commenced the corresponding works.
- Optional. Enter a date to reflect the starting date of the works.
This field only appears if you select the Work Started tick box.
- Optional. Select the Add Line button and repeat steps 2 through 6 if you need to request multiple variations in the same session.
- Tick the Select box to the left of each variation.
- Select the Submit Selected button to send your variation request to the Head Contractor for assessment.
- Once you submit a variation, it cannot be edited.
- If you are not ready to submit your variation request, you can select the Save Draft button. Your entries are saved and you can return to edit them later.
- If you already have your variation recorded in an Excel spreadsheet, you can upload it directly.
Variations can be uploaded from comma-separated value (CSV) files. This is useful if there are multiple variations to submit which have been recorded externally in an Excel spreadsheet. See topic Uploading Variations from a CSV.
