In VertiGIS FM, a contract addendum is a continuation of a standard 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 contract details after you change the contract's state to Completed. If you want to change 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 contract details 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 contract are documented in the Hierarchy section of the 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 contract details page you are viewing. A down-arrow icon indicates that the version of the contract is a more recent addendum than the contract whose details page you are viewing.
