Add a change order after quantities were already entered

The bid item keeps its history; the change order carries the extra.

Steps

1. Add the change order with the added quantity (or the new work) as its own item, even when it is the same pay item as one in the bid.
2. Log future quantities for the extra work against the CO item. Entries already logged on the original item stay where they are.

What it affects

• The original item still shows its bid quantity and whatever was placed against it; the overrun stops looking like an overrun once the CO item absorbs the rest.
• The next application lists the CO item under the change order and the summary table picks it up.

Good to know

• If the owner would rather pay the overrun at the bid price with no change order, you do not need one — see the overrun guide.
