Agreement vs Determination
In FIDIC contracts the Engineer must try to get the parties to agree the price and/or EOT for a Variation. If agreement between the parties is not achievable then the Engineer proceeds to make a fair determination as to the price and/or EOT for the Variation.
For help creating and notifying determination of a Variation see Determining a Variation.
Locate the Variation
Navigate to "Variations" in the Projects Explorer and select the Variation you want to agree.
Launch the Perform Variation Action popup
Refer to the Variation panel near the top right of the instruction the claim relates to and click the arrow in the "Next step" box to launch the "Perform Variation Action" popup.
Select "Notify agreement of Variation"
Create the agreement
Click "New agreement of Variation" to create your agreement
The "Create Variation Agreement" form is pre-populated with the price and EOT from the Contractor's proposal (which is shown to the right of the form).
If necessary adjust the price and EOT to reflect what has been agreed between the Employer and the Contractor.
Be sure to attach any supporting documents (e.g. minutes of meetings)
Click "Create Variation Agreement" to save your agreement
🔔 At this point you have finished creating the agreement but you have not yet notified it. You can come back to this screen later (your agreement will still be here) and make changes or you can go ahead and notify the agreement now.
Send agreement
Click "Send" to proceed to the confirmation page
Enlarge the preview and examine the Notice of the Parties' Agreement C-COM has generated for you.

Finally click "Send" to finish
✅ You have successfully created and notified an agreement of a Variation.
