Little Changes #8: Capture a submitted variation value

Our 8th little change to the system is in the Contracts module. A small change, but an important one for our project management consulting clients. The change relates to the variations card and allows a consultant (or client of construction services) to capture what a contractor has submitted as their variation, as well as what you have approved.

The Submitted value shown in the screenshot below and represents the suppliers submitted quote to the variation price request and the Amount column is what you are actually approving as a variation to adjust the contract sum.

Contracts Module - Submitted Value & Amount

Then through PowerBI or reports (to be released as part of UniPhi 15) you can present an aggregated view of what value you added as a project manager in terms of what you screwed the contractor down to with regards to what they thought the variation was going to cost them tow hat it ended up costing.

Another simple thing we've added is the To Complete column in various screens:

Contract Module - To Complete Column

Contracts Dashboard - To Complete Column

The To Complete column is simply the difference between the Progress Claim and the Estimate at Completion for that particular contract. This enables you to see what's left both at a contract level and at the bottom line contract level for the project.

Come back tomorrow for the next installment in all things UniPhi 15.
