Sage has no way to track cost for change orders and no work around. How can this be?

Create a report that shows cost vs billing for change orders.

Don't know where you got that idea from.
You enter the budget on the Budget and Sub Change details tab. But if you are asking how to relate specific costs to specific change orders you can:
1. Create phases to track the CO's and costs OR
2. create a series of new cost codes called CO 1, CO 2, CO 3, etc. and book the change orders/budget, and the costs to only those codes.
Are you saying to create a phase for each change order? I thought about that. Here is the problem.
How do you bill on the AIA and bring the change orders forward as separate lines? Oh yeah, you cannot because all of your change order are individual phases. Jumble mess!!!
Also, what happens when you have a project that has muliple phases and change orders? Jumble mess!!
Is it possible to add a field so than when you are coding an invoice it allows you to apply the cost to a change order/code? I have been using this program for years and this is a major flaw.
