Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

Re-approval of change orders

There is a disconnect in the system between a PM PO Change Order and approval. Currently a PO can be amended/increased without a requirement for re-approval. Effectively , i can raise a PO for $1, then do a PM PO Change Order and increase that PO to any sum, regardless of the DOA level, without the need for re-approval. I believe that any increase to a PO should trigger the approval process again inline with the DOA limits set in Vista.

    I agree. It makes no sense that the original PO requires an approval process but change orders do not.
