Once the customer accepts a Change Order (CO), the payments related to the CO are also displayed in the “Details > Payments” tab in the Project details view in the Change Orders table.
A CO will use the default payment schedule set for the CO under “Settings > Quote > Payment Schedules.” You have the option to change the payment schedule.
Once the payment milestones and the dates are set for the CO, you collect the payment for the CO in the following ways:
Create and share the invoice for the CO
The steps to create and share the invoice for a CO are similar to those of an invoice for project payment.
Check out this article for more details.
True up the CO amount into project payments
Here, the total amount of all accepted COs can be factored into one or more project payment milestones. The CO payment can be collected when you send the invoices for the project payment milestones.
To true up the CO amount:
1/ Click "True up" above the CO table.
2/ In the modal, select one of the following:
Pro Rata Amongst Remaining Milestones
This option will split the CO amount equally among the remaining project payment milestones. For example, with a CO amount of $1,000 and 5 remaining payment milestones, $200 will be added to each of the remaining payment milestones.
Apply to Outstanding Milestone
This option will allow you to choose a project payment milestone to which the CO amount should be added.
Manual Allocation
This option will allow you to manually split the CO amount into one or more project payment milestones.
In the following screenshot, the CO amount is manually split among 4 payment milestones.
3/ If you choose the Pro Rata Amongst Remaining Milestones or Apply to Outstanding Milestone option, click "Preview" to see the CO amount allocation.
4/ Click "Save." The CO table will not show the CO amount allocation.
The following is a screenshot of true-up using the pro rata option.
