               <StepTitle>Define Field Change Order</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>Use the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Field Change Orders (tssoc5100m000)</GUIRef> session to define field change order. The field change
				order (FCO) procedure is defined as a separate service procedure in the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Service Types (tsmdm0130m000)</GUIRef> session. Therefore, you can
				define <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#ContraCovera_ts" role="glossary">contract coverage</Link> for FCOs. FCOs are
				intended for collective changes on <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#Objects_ts" role="glossary">serialized item</Link> in multiple clusters. For each FCO, you
				can define up to five activities. If service orders are generated for FCOs, LN automatically generates a service order activity
				line for each of these activities. If you define the FCO, the FCO receives the
				status Free.</Paragraph>

            <Step>
               <StepTitle>Generate FCO Lines</StepTitle>
               <Paragraph>After you create the FCO header, in which the anonymous
				item or <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#Objects_ts" role="glossary">serialized item</Link> and the related activities that you want
				to replace are specified, you can either manually define FCO object lines or
				have the lines generated automatically. Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/soc/tssoc5210m000" role="session">Generate FCO Lines (tssoc5210m000)</GUIRef> session to generate <Link href="/baanerp/ts/glossary/glossary#FielChanOrLi_ts" role="glossary">FCO lines</Link> automatically for
