Managing Contract Claims

The Contract Claim Overview enables you to enter and track contract claims. When a contract claim is entered into the system, specific users defined by the agency are notified. To access the Contract Claim Overview component, click the Contract Claims link in the Construction component.

To make changes to an existing claim, first locate the claim by typing criteria in the Quick Find search box or by clicking Show first 10. The system displays a list of rows for all the claims in the system that match your search criteria. Each row contains an Actions button and current values for the following fields:

• Contract ID

• Claim Number

• Status

• Type

• Category

• Claimant

• Received Date

• Resolution Date

• Requested Amount

• Requested Days

Information can be viewed but not changed on this component. To view more information about the claim or to modify the claim record, click the Claim Number link in the claim row. For more information, see Maintaining a Contract Claim.

To add a new claim, select Add New Contract Claim to Contract from the Actions menu on any claim row. For more information, see Adding a Contract Claim.

To delete a claim, select Delete from the Actions menu on the claim row. The system shades the row gray to indicate it is marked for deletion. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button. Click Save when you are finished to apply your changes to the system.

• Note: You cannot delete a claim with associated records (for example, litigation, time or change orders), or that have a status other than Open.

When you are finished making changes to the list of claims, click the Save button to apply your changes to the system (including deleted information). The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.
