In VertiGIS FM, a contract addendum is a continuation of a contract. Each addendum to a contract has its own details page and a unique Addendum value but shares its Contract no. with the contract's other addendums.
VertiGIS FM locks most fields in the standard contract details after you change the contract's state to Completed. If you want to change any of the contract's locked properties, you must create an addendum. You can only create an addendum to a contract if the contract's state is Completed.
To Add a Contract Addendum
1.Click the Add Addendum () icon on the contract's details page.
2.Update any contractdetails as required. By default, the addendum that is created shares all the properties its predecessor except for its State and the value in the Addendum field, which increments by one.
3.Click Save and Close.
Addendums added to a standard contract are documented in the Hierarchy section of the standard contract details page.
An up-arrow icon in the leftmost column indicates that the version of the contract is a predecessor of the version whose details page you are viewing. A down-arrow icon indicates that the version of the standard contract is a more recent addendum than the standard contract whose details page you are viewing.

You can edit a standard contract on its details page if you want to change any of the standard contract's details whose field is not locked. If you want to change any properties whose field is locked because the standard contract's state is Complete (), add an addendum to the contract.
