Understanding Change Request Fee Calculations

After you enter cost information on a change request, you can perform a fee calculation to update revenue amounts. The Change Request Fee Calculation program (P5320) calculates a total amount (quotation total) that is based on the final cost amounts on a change request. Based on the quotation total amount, you can enter a percentage or fixed amount for the system to calculate fees, overhead amounts, or both.

This program updates information in the Change Request Entry program (P5310) with the total amounts, associated account numbers, and status codes. Each total amount is a separate detail line on the Change Request Entry form.

The Change Request Fee Calculation program creates new revenue detail lines for:

• Total of the final cost amounts

• Fee amount

• Overhead amount

If you revise the amounts, the system updates the existing lines that were created the first time that the amounts were entered. Once you enter amounts, you cannot change the account number.

You can also use this program to create fee calculation amounts for each requote.
