Sub-Tier Change Order Management for Prime Subcontractors

As a Subcontractor working on a General Contractor's project on TPM, you may need to hire and track the work of Sub-Tier Subcontractors. A Sub-Tier Subcontractor either performs work for your organization or provides supplies.

When you need a Sub-Tier to submit billings and receive payment through TPM, you will create a subcontract for the organization. This is similar to the contract shared between your organization and your General Contractor. After you create a subcontract for a Sub-Tier Subcontractor, your organization will take on the role of a Prime Subcontractor.

If at a later time you need to adjust the value of the the Sub-Tier Subcontractor's subcontract, you can either increase or decrease it with a Sub-Tier change order. The following topics explain how to create and delete these Sub-Tier change orders on TPM.

Subcontract Change Orders

Create a Subcontract Change Order (SCO) to change the contract value of an existing Sub-Tier subcontract.

SCOs that create a new component automatically allocate the new component to the Subcontractor's SoV.
SCOs that change existing components require a Subcontractor to allocate the change order.

When you use the Specified SoV project setting, you, will allocate the Sub-Tier change order on the behalf of your Sub-Tier Subcontractor.

After you create an SCO, the application sends an email to Subcontractors as a reminder to Edit the SoV to allocate the change order.

The Allocate Change Order page shows one change order at a time. If a contract has more than one change order, save the allocations for the first change order to see the next change order display on the page.

The SoV is out of balance until the change order is allocated.
