Change Requests provide construction companies a way to keep track of changes to their projects in terms of cost, price and markup.
A change request may consist of one or more lines of changes that are captured using the construction work breakdown structure (Project + Task + Cost Type) along with cost and price information. Information about other dimensions may also be captured when relevant.
In some instances only the cost is captured, when the change is not billed to the customer.
Sometimes the cost and price on a change request are the same amount, such as when the cost of a change is simply passed on to the customer.
Sometimes, in the early stages of a change request, you may not have all the information at a line item level. In such cases, you may want to create a change request without any line items, and later go back to it to add line item along with cost and/or price information.
Once a change request is approved, the user would want to update the primary estimate of the project by posting the change request. When the primary estimate is posted to GL budgets, those line items generated by the posting of the change request would also be part of the posting of the project estimate to GL budgets.
Returns up to 100 object references from the collection with a key, ID, and link for each change request. This operation is mostly for use in testing; use the query service to find objects that meet certain criteria and to specify properties that are returned.
