			<Paragraph>Affected objects are linked to the change proposal and the review process runs. Reviewers review the change before final review by the chairperson of the committee.

The linked and affected objects dates also take the value of the change order dates.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>The authorized user performs the actual tasks and completes the <Link href="/baanerp/dm/glossary/glossary#000003" role="glossary">change</Link>.</Paragraph>
