      <Paragraph>Incidental changes refer to any changes in an active service
		contract in terms of covered configurations, types of coverage, and terms and
		conditions.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can create a contract change of the type Incidental change
		when you want to make a change to the existing contract.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>The contract change is created with the status <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Free</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Incidental changes must be made effective for the contract in
		order to provide coverage using the new contract definitions. A contract change
		often leads to a change in the contract price and effects the current contract
		installments. If a penalty is related to an incidental change, a separate
		contract installment is created.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The total incidental change correction amount is calculated as
		the difference in the total contract prices of the contract before starting the
		incidental change and when making the incidental change active.</Paragraph>
