Variation Management
Variations are changes to the scope of work originally specified in the contract and are used in Textura to adjust the total value of your contract for a project. Typically, both your organisation and the Main Contractor can create variations.
If you are a Prime Subcontractor with Sub-Tiers working for you on a project and the Sub-Tier holds a contract and enters their billing information on TPM, you can create a Sub-Tier variation to change their contract value. For more information on acting as a Prime Subcontractor, see Sub-Tier Variation Management for Prime Subcontractors.
Your Variations
Variations change the value of your organisation's contract value on TPM. These are displayed on the My Variations tab and are created or approved by the Main Contractor organisation.
High-Level Overview
If your Main Contractor does not use the Specified WB setting, you will complete the following workflow:
- The Main Contractor creates a variation to adjust your contract value.
- As a Project Manager, when you next log in and navigate to the Project Home page, you will see an Edit Work Breakdown task.
At this time, the Work Breakdown is out of balance because the new variation needs to be allocated. It will remain out of balance until you allocate the variation.
- Select the Edit Work Breakdown task to go to the Allocate Variation page.
- Either allocate the variation to an existing line item or create a new line item in your WB. Enter the variation amount in the Allocate column and save your changes.
