Contract Modifications are configured and managed by implementing a status setting on the modification record. The following status types are supported:

• NEW – This status indicates the modification has been created. While this status is active, changes to the Change Order Pay Items or Time ARE allowed.
• INIT (Initialized) – This status indicates the modification has been initialized in the system. Other contract personnel are able to see the details of the modification, however pay items or time changes are not usable on the contract. While this status is active, changes to the Change Order Pay Items or Time ARE allowed.
• AUTH (Authorized) – This status indicates the modification has been approved. All changes documented in the modification are available for use on the contract. Once this status is set, changes to the Change Order Pay Items or Time ARE NOT allowed.
