Change Proposal

The change proposal is a version-controlled entity of a change. A new change proposal is created by default when a change is created. The proposal can be approved or rejected. When the proposal is approved, the status of change changes to Approved. If the proposal is rejected, the status remains the same ( Created). If the proposal is rejected, you can create a new proposal with all the linked entities. Attach relevant ERP objects and the change orders to the proposal to govern the effectivity dates of the linked objects.

The reviewers assigned to the committee and made specific to the change provide the recommendations for the proposal. The proposal has the following status:

  • Created
  • Under Review
  • Approved
  • Rejected

The chairperson of the change committee has the final authority to approve or reject the proposal. Tasks are attached to the proposal with the estimated dates and can be executed after the change is submitted for review. After the proposal is approved the change can be completed.
