Form Menu Features

This table lists the Form menu options on the Change Request Entry form:

Option

Description

Account Master Pick

You can select which accounts are included in a change request through the chart of accounts that are already set up for the job. You can define whether you want the header account or the detail account description displayed for cost, revenue, and subcontract accounts.

Requotes

You can create requotes to track changes that you make to account distribution information. A requote is a version of the detail line. After you create a requote, you can use it to compare changes that are made to the detail line. Select from these options:

  • Prior Requote: Use this option to view the previous requote.

  • Next Requote: Use this option to view requotes that were created after the original requote.

  • Generate Requote: Use this option to create a new requote.

Copy Amounts

The Copy Amounts option on the Form menu lets you copy amounts and units for all of the line items on a change request for columns that are currently displayed. This option saves time with data entry when you need to update all amounts and units. Select from these options:

  • Original to Quote: This option copies the original amount to the quoted amount or unit.

  • Quoted to Final: This option copies the quoted amount to the final amount or unit.

Note: The Copy Amounts option on the Row menu enables you to copy amounts and units for a specific line on a change request.

Global Status

You can globally update the detail status code for cost, revenue, and subcontract accounts for all of the detail line items on a change request. This option saves time with data entry. When you select Global Status, the system prompts you to specify the codes that you want to change.

Note: The Global Status Update program updates only the detail status codes for the columns (cost, revenue, and subcontract) that are displayed.

Create PCO

You can automatically create a PCO and attach an existing change request to it. When you use this option, the system attaches the current change request to a PCO that the system creates. The PCO has the same title as the change request, a PCO status of Submitted, and the current date for the PCO submitted date.

PCO Entry

You can exit directly to the Planned Change Order Entry program (P5314) to view change requests that are attached to PCOs or to create a PCO.

CO Entry

You can exit directly to the Change Order Entry program (P5315) to view PCOs that are attached to COs or to create a new CO.

Log Revisions

You can exit to the Log Master Revisions program (P4303) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Subcontract Management system. This program tracks and controls money for jobs by vendor and contract. You can set up prerequisites and enter additional data.

Save Columns

You can save a column version for the Change Request Entry program. This option defines which columns the system displays when you access the program. After you save a column version, you can set a processing option to have the system display the saved column version when you access the Change Request Entry program.

Delete Change Request

You can delete a change request if you have not entered detail information for the change request.

Print Summary/Detail

You can print a Change Request Summary or Detail report. A processing option controls whether the report is a summary or detail report, and which version the system uses.

Attachments

You can attach documents, images, and other media to change requests from the Media Objects form.

Fee Calculation

You can use the Change Request Fee Calculation program (P5320) to calculate a total amount that is based on the final cost amounts on a change request. You can enter a percentage or fixed amount for the system to calculate fees, overhead amounts, or both.
