Add and modify contract information

Use the Contract Items dialog box to add new contract items to either the original contract or a change order. Contract items represent parts of the contract, such as detailing or materials. You can also modify, move, or delete existing contract items. Furthermore, you can define and adjust the properties of the project contract.

To access the Contract Items dialog box, do the following:

In the Contract & Invoicing dialog box, click Contract.

Add a contract item to the original contract

  1. On the Contract Items tab of the Contract Items dialog box, click New Contract Item.
  2. In the Contract Item dialog box, type a description for the contract item.

    The description is used in project management reports.

  3. Click the arrow on the right side of the Type list and select Original Contract.
  4. In the Amount field, type the costs of the contract item.
  5. Click the arrow on the right side of the Schedule Task list, and select the project schedule task that you want to link to the new contract item.

    When you link a contract item to a schedule task, Tekla EPM automatically finds the completion percentage of the contract item from the project schedule. This allows you to automatically calculate the amount to be invoiced based on the completion percentage.

  6. Type any additional notes about the contract item.
  7. Click Save.

The new contract item is added to the list on the left-hand pane.

The Contract & Invoicing dialog box now shows the totals for the contract and the sum to be invoiced.
