Relative Change Order: The Relative Change Order (RCO) enables the user to set relative timing for a change order that has been linked to a change proposal. If you link an ERP object to a change proposal, the change proposal must have a change order with some specified date. To set timing for the next entity linked by Relative Change Order, the date must be the current change order date and the duration must be specified. To do this, you can use base change order and the duration. The Relative Change Order date depends on the base change order and the duration. The Relative Change Order must be part of the current change proposal and it can be linked to various objects. The Relative Change Order date must not fall before the current date.
