Create an Allowance

This guide explains how to create an allowance in eComm — setting up the allowance line item, linking it to the appropriate contract or contingency, entering the description and amount, and saving the record to support budget tracking and change-order management.

Steps:

• Open the project in eComm where the allowance will be created

• Navigate to the relevant module (e.g., Contracts, Allowances & Contingencies)

• Click the “Create New Allowance” (or similar) button

• Enter the Description of the allowance (what it covers)

• Select or link the Contractor/Party responsible when applicable

• Choose the Related Contract or Contingency Fund the allowance will attach to

• Enter the Estimated Value/Amount of the allowance

• Specify any Required On-Site Date or Lead Time if required

• Attach supporting documentation if needed (drawings, specs, quotes)

• Review all fields for accuracy

• Click Save or Create to finalize the allowance record
