Hi when the work is self performed you can charge labor and materials (cost types).  If someone else is doing the work it should be cost type 4 for subcontractor.

Hi Char!

Yes, that is how we currently handle it. But, when an architect wants to track the changes on a separate line on the pay app, the only way I can differentiate between material for the original scope and material in the same cost code for a change, is to note that its for a change in the description of the material invoice entry. 

I was hoping someone had figured out a way to "post" self preformed time and material to a change order, similar to how we post to a subcontract or purchase order. 

I hope that makes sense...?

Hi Lilah,

We are a cost plus  company and create a Change Order cost code, which allows clear tracking of labor/materials costs, either as a Job Cost or Subcontract, on the Job Cost Journal. Otherwise it is difficult to get a clear separation of contract cost v change order costs.

So, what do you do for the change order code?  Have one for material and one for labor?  What if you have multiple change orders going on at the same time? How would you track that?  This is something that would be HUGE for my company to figure out.  Currently we create a new job to track them, but then I have to move each line item once completed.  We could have multiple change orders going on at the same time for one job, so it creates some challenges.  

I am following this as we are having the same problem with multiple change order tracking solutions
