With Potential Change Order (PCO) you can create an “wish list” of items that can be pulled into the project via a change order. The process is started with a PCO because when a change order is created, all change orders have to be APPROVED in order since they affect the contract amount. Therefore, by starting with a PCO, the pricing is presented to the Owner, the Owner can approve / reject each item proposed in the PCO and the approved items can be pulled into a change order with one click. By having the PCO approved first, the change order process is not held up because you already have approval.
