Associating Plan Discrepancies with a Change Order

A plan discrepancy is an inconsistency between the construction performed on a project and the intent of the contract plans and specifications. Information about plan discrepancies is recorded to aid the agency in assessing the impact on construction and addressing the discrepancy contractually.

The Plan Discrepancies tab on the Contract Change Order Summary contains a list of all the plan discrepancies associated with this change order. You can associate plan discrepancies with the change order on this tab.

Each plan discrepancy row contains an Actions button and current values for the following fields:

To view more information or to maintain a plan discrepancy, locate the plan discrepancy row and click the link in the Description field. The system takes you to the Plan Discrepancy Summary (see Managing Plan Discrepancies).
