How the Change Order is applied
When creating a new version
When creating an alternative version, the selected Change Order object is applied to both the new and old versions of the process and its subprocesses. It is assigned to the processes of the new version as Change Order Begin, and assigned to the processes of the old version as Change Order End.
When creating a new alternative
When creating an alternative version, the selected Change Order object is applied only to the new version of the process and its subprocesses. It is assigned to the new version as Change Order Begin.
When creating a new version via copy
When creating a new copy of a process, the selected Change Order object is applied only to the child process(es) of the copied process. It is assigned to the copied child processes as Change Order Begin.
