(Beta) Approve Client Contracts

Objective

To change the status of a client contract for a construction project to 'Approved.'

Background

After the client contract is created, you can follow the steps in Update the Schedule of Values on a Client Contract. Once the line items on the SOV are complete and the agreement between the project GC and your company is finalized, you can place the contract into the Approved status. This action allows your project team to begin creating change orders (see Create a Client Contract Change Order), GC invoices (see Create a GC/Client Invoice for a Client Contract), and payments issued (see Add a New Payment to the Payments Issued Tab of a Commitment).
