Edit the core details of a communication

The contract's Method of Communication determines when the contract communications can be edited (in other words, when the communication is in an editable state):

• If set to Contractor to communicate via other means (the contractor does not use the Contractor Portal), all communications can be edited in any state. This is to facilitate the creation and maintenance in AVEVA Contract Risk Management of communications which exist in another system such as email.

  Financial values, including line items, cannot be edited for Not Agreed or Rejected communications.

• If set to Contractor to communicate via Contractor Portal, communications can only be edited when in Draft state.

  Note Custom field values can be edited if the communication is not in Draft if the custom field was configured in the communication template to allow this. See Edit the custom field values of a communication.

Users with the following contract roles can edit a communication in the Company Portal:

• Contract Owner

• Contract Administrator

• Company Representative
