Due to the problems with the supply chain this year, there have been a number of instances where we have been mid procurement of a material, when all of sudden we could no longer get our hands on it. We have had to switch to ordering similar materials that are available. However, due to the current behaviour when a material is swapped it is swapped out in the Rate Build Up and as a result swaps the requirement to the new material, this has resulted in us incurring a lot of "contingency" budget spending on materials we ordered but are now no longer in the current scope. We would expect to see all these tracked in the material budget not contingency budget, so can you change how the software handles swaps once progress has started on a project please?
