Creating Change Requests

The change management process begins with change requests. You create change requests to track changes such as those to costs or to accounts charged or credited. When you create a change request, you assign detail status codes to each line item of account distribution information. These detail status codes indicate the line item's current stage in the approval process. As you revise account distribution information for a line item, you can update the status codes to move the change request to the next approval stage. If you set up the detail status codes to refer to account ledgers, you can automatically update ledgers with revised amounts when you update the status of a change request.
