Result or Product of this Process
The 06.01 Letter of Release - Change Order Request process is used:
- To request a Letter of Release
- Either by the contractor or the project manager to initiate a change to an e-Builder commitment. (Purchase Order)
- CORs (one or multiple) must be processed using the 06.02 - General Contract Change Order process.
This process can be used to generate the Change Order Request (COR). One or more CORs must be included in a General Conract Change Order process in order for commitments (POs) to be changed.
When you change a commitment (PO) you must also ensure that there is sufficient budget to cover the total of the changes.
