Unit Contract Tracking


Many organizations are awarded contracts based on units,

where quantities are estimated by the owner and pricing is

fixed. Most of these companies have developed

spreadsheets for tracking these contracts.

This presentation will explore tracking the same contract

using Contract Manager's (CM) contract, change

management, materials, daily report and payment requisition

modules.

The contract is created using CM. Utilizing the Materials

portion of the contract line items, users are able to log work

accomplished in the daily reports module. These materials

are then tallied and reported in the contractor's monthly

payment application to the Owner.
