hello my name is Olivia Romer I am a
sage 300 construction and real estate
certified consultant at tag a premier
sage partner for construction software
with offices located throughout Southern
California today we're going to discuss
six reasons Sage 300 construction and
real estate project management is better
for processing change orders many Sage
300 customers ask me if I already own
job cost
why should I purchase project management
that's a good question
there are many reasons to purchase
project management you receive
additional features such as transmittals
submittals RFI's and daily reports and
you are able to take advantage of Sage
mobile projects just to name a few
but the feature I like the most in
project management is how it handles the
change order process number one change
requests change requests our essential
part of change management a concept
introduced with the release of project
management change requests are a great
feature because they easily allow you to
track time and material tickets as well
as potential scope changes requested by
your customer or a subcontractor by
using change requests you can add the
commitment cost estimate and price
changes without affecting job cost or
contracts you may ask yourself why would
I want to do this change requests are
potential in nature you may give a price
to your customer and they decide not to
perceive with the work or perhaps you
have some TNM tickets but the price is
negotiated at a later date by using
change requests you can easily change
these items and attach them to a change
order when they are finalized also you
can add multiple change requests to one
change order which is a nice feature
number to affect price cost estimate and
commitments and why
easy step when you create a change
request you can add the price cost
estimate and any commitment changes just
by changing the price cost estimate view
the columns within each view can be
adjusted to fit your company's needs
with a mouse click you can jump between
the price cost estimate and vendor view
in the same screen with project
management you no longer have to enter a
change order into multiple applications
number three easy error correction by
simply changing the status of the change
order from approved you can easily
change everything about the change order
from price and cost estimate changes to
cost code and category you no longer
have to create reversing change orders
to fix mistakes for segregation of
duties accountants you can breathe a
sigh of relief when giving project
managers access to project management
why now a PM can enter their own change
requests and change orders without being
able to submit the changes to accounting
you can have control over how and when
change order transactions hit job cost
by allowing your operations personnel to
enter their change requests and change
orders they are more aware of their jobs
progress number 5 direct integration
with the contracts module with 3
different locations to select the
contract item within a change order you
are less apt to make mistakes this
relieves you of the need to enter change
orders in the contracts module this
again saves you time and time is money
number 6
fewer steps to create a change order the
entire change order workflow is now
completed in one module within 3
different screens
once you have completed your change
order and project management it
automatically updates both job cost and
contracts what do you like about project
