Record Changes to Production Quantities in a Change Event
Objective
To add changes to production quantities in a change event.
Background
For companies using Procore's Project Financials and Resource Management tools with the 'Procore Labour Productivity Cost' budget view, you can log additional production quantities and production hours associated with your change event line items in the 'Production Quantities' tab of a change event.
Example
Let's assume that after your project's budget is locked, the project owner requests a design change that is out of scope with the original design. The change requires additional drywall, so you first create a change event and add a line item to that change event for that drywall. If that change represents a change to production, you will also want to record that change in the 'Production Quantities' tab of the change event.
Once you record the production quantities in the change events, the values are updated in the 'Details' tab of the Change Events tool page. The values are also updated after you create a Prime Contract Change Order (PCCO). However, you must follow these steps: Create a PCCO from a Change Event.
After you have submitted your PCCO to the owner for review, the owner can then approve or reject it. See Approve or Reject Prime Contract Change Orders (PCCOs). When the status of the PCCO changes to 'Approved', the updated production quantities are reflected in the 'Procore Labour Productivity Cost' budget view and the Field Production Report.
