Change Orders (Funding Change Orders)

NOTE: The below article details this feature for our customers utilizing our Kahua for Owner’s and Kahua for GC’s applications, which excludes custom workflow or configuration. Specific customer configuration, customers utilizing other versions of these applications, or custom application features may differ in functionality or processes to those outlined below. For more details on training guides specific to your company, please check with your company IT or Domain Administrator prior to submitting a request to Kahua Support. 

Creating a Change Order

The Funding Change Orders application allows you to create an Owner Change Order from New or from processing from a Change Request as mentioned above. Cost amounts are tracked in Work Breakdown according to status. To access the Funding Change Orders application, open the Apps repository. Under the Cost Management suite of applications click on Funding.  

This will launch the Funding Applications which may include:

To create a new Change Order from scratch, select the Change Orders tab, then click the New button to open a new record. Notice a new form on the right side of the screen. Populate the Contract Details such as Contract, Date, Description, Template, Type, and Location. 

Enter the Extension (days), Scope of Work, and Notes in the Scope section. 

If you choose to use the available workflow options, you will not need to enter dates in the Dates & Workflow section as they will increment for you as it routes through workflow. 

To add change order  line items, navigate to the Items grid. Determine how many lines you will need and click Insert. Select the applicable cost codes and fill out the remaining details regarding this record. 

To view the record Items in further detail, click more details icon next to the Change Order Item number. This view allows for additional detail on the item such as the Scope of Work, Notes, and additional Comments. Use the Previous and Next action buttons to sort through the Items if needed.

 Click Done once all detail has been provided.

Documents can be attached to the record under the References section. The user can either Upload a document saved on their computer, Add Kahua Doc to reference a document that is stored within Kahua’s File Manager application or Add Approval Doc which is used anytime a record is being routed for Review or Signature. 

 

Once all detail has been filled out, click Save/Close. Prior to submitting into any workflow, typically an approval doc should be created.  

 

Action Buttons

Once the record fields have been completed and saved, the users can select from several actions:

  • Send - Use messaging to send record details to others (do not confuse with a workflow – this is not an approval process but a static message to share details with another individual)
  • Edit - Update and maintain the record; once in workflow (out for approval), this will not be available.
  • View - This action button displays the Portable View (document PDF view)
  • Delete - Select this action button to delete a budget (typically permission based, so not all may see this)
  • History - All updates/changes are tracked 

Sending

Do not confuse Sending with using the workflow buttons in any application. Budget documents (and any record in an application) can be sent via a message within Kahua to either existing Kahua users or users outside of Kahua by entering their email address and clicking Enter. The Funding Budget documents are treated as attachments, and the message can be copied to the Communications application by checking the box.

 

Edit

The budget can be updated as needed during the process. If the document is out for Review or Signature, Edit will not be available.


View

Funding Budgets can be viewed as a Portable View in which a PDF version of the Budget data is generated and can be printed out. Select the PDF Icon to generate a printable PDF version of the Funding Budget document. 

 

History

The History action button provides details regarding all activity (Creation, Updates, Saves, etc.) performed on the Funding Budget. To see specific detail related to the updates made, click the View Edit button.

 

Workflow

If approval workflow has not yet been configured for this application in Kahua, increment the status manually by using the ‘Set To’  button at the bottom of the record. The option to manually Set To Projected, Pending, Approved, or Approved & Lock. The selection will determine where the values are on the Work Breakdown. 

 

If workflow is being used on the project, Kahua supports both a review process and a formal signature process. For more details of how Kahua approval processes work, see the Submitting into Workflow section.
