Change Order Template

A change order template is a set of guidelines that enables an organization to specify what constitutes an internal change and what constitutes an external change to a procurement document during the course of its lifecycle.

Some of the document change terminology:

1. External Change Order

2. Internal Change Order

External Change Order

This is a type of change order that modifies an attribute or attributes that may be relevant to the supplier as defined in the change order template. Examples include changes to price, amount, or contract terms. This is also referred to as a supplier facing change order. In commercial organizations these types of changes are referred to as an amendment and in a Federal organization they're called MODs or modifications.

Internal Change Order

This is a type of change order that modifies an attribute or attributes that may not be relevant to the supplier as defined in the change order template. Examples includes changes to a descriptive flexfield or a certain category of attachments. These are also referred to as administrative changes.

Typically this will be a buyer or requester requested change order. That is a change order requested by a user whose role is either buyer or requester.
