Change Orders

Change orders are a component of the change management process that describe why, how, and when changes are made to a design.

Change order states help track the progression of the change order through the change management process. The state of the change order can determine which users can affect the change order, based on the user's role. Change orders use a routing list to control which users are notified when a Change Order enters a certain state. See Working with Change Order States, for more information.
