View Construction Component Items

Description

This function is part of the Verification and Payments subsystem and allows the user to view the Component Items that comprise a lump sum Construction Item. This function is only available for Project Status of NTP Issued, Construction, Post-Construction, and Final. The components themselves are listed at the bottom of the Construction Item detail screen and include a hyperlink (Sequence Number) to the Construction Component Item detail screen.

There are numerous ways to access the Construction Items list, which is the starting point for this function. For detailed navigation using each method, see “How Do I View Construction Items”. This Help document shows you how to navigate from the My Projects page.

The View Construction Component Items function can be accessed by all $ECMS users. The function is available when the Project Status is NTP Issued or greater.
