Managing additional cost requests.
- A spend uplift occurs when the contractor needs to exceed the spend limit on a work order that may have been set automatically, or as the result of a previous quote request
- When a contractor makes this kind of request, you will be notified by email, and they will be asked to provide a reason for the uplift, so you can easily choose to accept or reject the request
- You can also head to your dashboard and click the Spend Uplift Requests tile to see all requests in one place
- From here, you can select the relevant request, and you will see a yellow bar with the actions Cancel, Reject and Approve
- If you want to move ahead with the quote, select Approve and the spend limit will be amended to match the new requested amount
- Should you want to reject the request, you can provide a reason for the rejection, so the contractor is notified
- The activity tab lets you keep track of these requests and approvals, alongside the user associated with them
