Adding a Claim to the Contract

The Add Contract Claim component enables you to enter a new contract claim into the system. To access the Add Contract Claim component, select Add New Contract Claim to Contract from the Actions menu on any claim row on the Contract Claim Overview, or select Add New from the Actions menu on the Contract Claim Summary component header.

To save a new contract claim record in the system, you must first enter information in these fields:

• Contract Claim Type

• Status

• Received Date

The system automatically enters the Contract Claim Number for the new claim.

It is not required, but you can enter information in these fields to record additional information about the change order:

• Contract Claim Category

• Claimant Name

• Subcontractor

• Requested Amount

• Requested Days

• Diary Start Date

• Diary End Date

• Estimate Number

• Comments

• Additional Status

• Resolution Date

• Payment Date

• Payment Amount

• Days Granted Date

• Days Granted

The system automatically calculates the Analysis Completion Due Date, Response Due Date, and the Response Notification Date when you save a new claim with values recorded in the Contract Claim Type and Received Date fields.

Click Save when you finish entering information. The system displays a message to confirm that the new contract claim was saved in the database.
