Reopening a Period

To reopen a period:

  1. Navigate to the Period Home for Main Contractor
  2. From the Period Home page, select the Reopen Period link.

    A Reopen Period dialogue box opens.

  3. In the Reopen Period dialogue box, enter the reason for reopening the period. This reason will appear on the generated email.
  4. Read and select the tick box to acknowledge and accept that all documents your Main Contractor organisation submitted for the period will be permanently deleted.

    Note: If at the time of reopening the period you already have subsequent periods (future periods) in process, you will need to agree to two additional items.

    Remember:

    • Change orders created after the period you intend to reopen will default to the first open period. If you proceed, you will also need to manually resubmit this future period.
    • Adjustments made to budgeting activities in future periods, such as deleting or adding line items or adjusting the monetary value of existing line items, will reset. If you proceed, you will need to manually re-enter billing and make these adjustments in the first open future period.

      You cannot reopen the period without acknowledging all three points.

    • The signed payment application is removed from the period.
    • The Main Contractor's pay application is rejected.
    • The period is reopened.
    • A Status screen confirms the period has been reopened.
    • An email is sent to the Project Manager and Signer notifying them of the reopened period.
    • Subcontractors that submitted approved payment application and legal documents are still included in the reopened period.
