Background: A change order will be use to make adjustments or Modifications to something that was already planned, stated or implemented in the existing contract

Starting November 20, 2024, we implemented a change by consolidating all change order tasks into a single milestone task in order to simplify the change order process..

  • The task will be named as Change Order (HCO/NCCO/ICO.

  • Installer Change Orders (ICOs) will have their own subtask

  • Homeowner Change Orders (HCOs) and No Cost Change Orders (NCCOs) will be combined into one subtask.

    • For HCOs and NCCOs, when you click the "Generate" button, a modal will appear, showing the required change order type along with the reason it was triggered.

Table of Content:

Consolidated Change Order Tasks

New Task will be named as “Change Order (HCO/NCCO/ICO)” consolidating all change order tasks into a single milestone task.

  • The Process for Editing the Project to generate the HCO is the same as for the ICO (You Only do this once)

  • If the “If Applicable” Text is not available, this means it is Required to be able to move forward

Homeowner Change Orders (HCO/NCCO)

NCCO can be use to update the following:

Homeowner’s Name (Spelling of name on contract)

Homeowner’s Address (i.e.: Unit Number needs to be added, Spelling of street name is wrong, etc.)

Sales Rep or Contractor’s name

The salesperson’s HIS Registration # needs to be updated

We will ONLY accept requests to update information if the request is coming from the Homeowner through:

Phone Call:

  • If the Homeowner is calling from the same phone number on record

Please refer to the following article (Click Here)

Email

  • Only If the phone number is what needs to be updated. In that case the homeowner must contact us through Email by using the same Email address on record

NCCO will not be applicable to update the Email Address since NCCO will be used only for required changes AFTER the contract has been signed)

If the Email address is incorrect or a cosigner is added, the workflow will need to be canceled and new contract generated

If the contract has NOT been signed and the Homeowner is contacting us from the same phone number on record: we will be able to update the Email address in Engine without an NCCO by simply voiding the contract, then updating the correct email on the Qualification Phase

Once the required information has been updated by support then The Sales Rep/Installer will need to use the NCCO Feature and generate a No Cost Change Order

Always ensure that if you modify the address, this one should match the address listed under ‘For Property Located At’, and NOT the one under “mailing address
