Change communications

If the template from which a communication was created is not configured as expenditure but is configured to include financial values as required or optional, these values are treated as commitment change values.

If the contract does not have line items, only a single commitment change financial value can be specified for each communication. See Commitment change values.

If the contract has line items defined, multiple commitment change values can be specified for a communication. Each proposed change applies to a different line item and will affect its approved commitment value once the communication (or if necessary, its successor) has been approved/agreed. Changes can also be proposed for the budget values of discrete pro rata progress measures on a communication, with any associated apportioned progress measures also updated accordingly. See Commitment change line items.

Change communications can also contain schedule impact values if the communication template is configured to record these. See Schedule impact values.
