Allocating a Prime Contract Variation

Allocate a Prime Contract Variation

There are two options for allocating a variation.

Choose Click here from the Status screen.
Choose Edit Work Breakdown from the My Contract drop-down menu at the top of any project screen.

The Variation Allocation page will display.

Note: Only one variation can be allocated at one time.

The screen shows:

How many variations need to be allocated
Which variation can be allocated on the current screen
The Period context (which Claims Period will be impacted by the variation allocation).

Enter Variation Amounts

Note: The Work Breakdown is out of balance until outstanding variations are allocated.

Choose Add New Line

Enter the Item and Description.
Enter the variation amount into the Allocate column.

Save Changes

When the Working Total in the Allocate column equals the Total (also the amount in the Allocate column heading), the allocation is complete. Choose the Save Changes button.

Tip

The Allocate Variation screen will show one variation at a time. If a contract has more than one variation pending allocation, the next variation will display on the Allocate Variation screen after the first one is saved.

When all variation allocations are complete, a Status screen confirms the variations have been allocated.
