Understanding Change Requests
This section provides an overview of change requests and discusses how to:
Organize change requests.
Include appropriate components in a change request.
Use detail status codes.
You use change requests to record and monitor changes to a job as the job progresses. A change request is the lowest level in the change management hierarchy and contains the detailed information that you need to track changes to a job. After you create change requests, you can attach related change requests to the next level in the hierarchy—the planned change order (PCO). Attaching related change requests to a PCO makes locating specific change requests easier.
