            <Paragraph>A default proposal

         <Paragraph>The session enables
		  you to link various components. Example of

         <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 chairperson
		  approves or rejects a proposal. After the approval action, the objects
		  controlled by <Link href="/baanerp/dm/glossary/glossary#000107" role="glossary">Change Management</Link> take the value of the change order
		  dates. The linked and affected objects dates also take the value of the change
		  order dates.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The Bill of Change
		  Order mechanism is used to control the effectivity or expiry of date of more
		  than one change order.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The authorized user
		  performs the actual tasks and completes the <Link href="/baanerp/dm/glossary/glossary#000003" role="glossary">change</Link>.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>After the change is
		  approved, an authorized user can revise the proposal after the user copies the
		  linked entities with a new change order.</Paragraph>
