Variation Without an Allowance
Once a selection option has been costed and approved by the client, a variation is automatically created with an Approved status for the amount of the selection option cost. This variation can be viewed under Job Financials > Variations.
Variation With an Allowance
A variation is only created when the total value of approved selection options exceeds the remaining balance of the linked allowance. It will appear under Job Financials > Variations and reference the relevant cost category.
If the value of the selections does not exceed the allowance, the unallocated allowance balance will remain in the cost category.
