Overview

This endpoint allows for the viewing and creation of Potential Change Items header information, such as Company, Project, Scope of Work, PCI dates and more.

Potential Change Items can be used to enter change requests for ongoing projects. PCIs are items that are expected to result in additional work or cost, beyond what was stated in the original submittal. These items can be made internally or externally and can be linked to requests for quotation (RFQ) and other related objects.

To create PCI details, please refer to “Create a PCI Detail” documentation.
