# Set up project change order prices

In project change orders, the actual project sales price setup for hours, expenses and fees is used. However, you can define project change order-specific price setup for specific categories.

These prices are applicable to the whole project change order. However, if you have defined a specific price for a sub-project, the project change order price isn't applicable. Instead, the sub-project-specific price is applicable to the sub-project and all lower work breakdown structure levels under the sub-project.

If you transfer a project change order to a project, for each project change order-specific price setup, a project-specific line is added to the related project sales price setup.

### Steps

1. Click **Project management and accounting** -> **Common** -> **Change orders** -> **Project change orders**.
2. On the **Project change orders** list page, select a project change order with status **Created**.
3. On the **Action pane**, on the **Quotation** tab, in the **Control** group, click **Quotation Margin**.
4. On the **Project quotation margin** form, click **Get actual prices**. On the dialog, click **OK**. As a result, the latest prices are retrieved from the project price setup.

> On the **Get actual prices** dialog, if the **Overwrite** check box is:

> - Cleared, only the prices are updated for which the **Override** check box is cleared as well.
> - Selected, all prices are updated.
5. Make the required changes to the prices. You can change the **Sales price model** and the **Pricing**.

> If you make a change, automatically these check boxes are selected:
> 
> - **Manual override**: indicates that the price is changed.
> - **Recalculate**: the price is changed, but not yet applied to the work breakdown structure of the project change order.
6. Apply the changed prices to the work breakdown structure of the project change order. To apply:

As a result:

> If a project-specific price is defined, the price setup is not updated for this project node and its sub-project nodes.
  - A single changed price, click **Calculate**.
  - All (changed) prices, click **Calculate all**.
  - The changed price setup is updated on each project in the work breakdown structure.
  - Prices are recalculated for the estimate lines of the tasks in the work breakdown structure.
7. Close the **Project Quotation Margin** form.
