Creating a Prime Contract Variation

To create a prime contract variation (PCV):

  1. Navigate to the Variations Page
  2. From the My Variations tab, select the Add... button.

    An Add My Contract Variation dialogue box displays.

  3. In the dialogue box, complete all required fields. Required fields are marked by a red asterisk (*).
  4. Optional. Choose to hide the variation to prevent your budget changes from appearing as variation related values on payment application documents.
    • Hidden Variations modify the Original Work Breakdown amount and Contract Sum to Date columns in your Work Breakdown (WB).
    • They do not appear in the Net Change by Variation column.
    • They are not identified as variation-related values on the payment application documents.
    • Once you create a Hidden Variation, you cannot un-hide it.
  5. Optional. Choose to hide the variation from Owner participants to remove hidden variation visibility from authorised Main Contractor users and Owner participants.
  6. Select the Add button.
    • The dialog box closes.
    • The new variation displays in the table.
    • A Success message appears at the top of the page. If you need to allocate the variation, the message includes an Allocate button. Select the button to navigate to the Variation Allocation page.
