# About change order management

Last modified February 19, 2026

> Visma Net provides the change order functionality, which you can use to control changes to project’s budgeted and committed values and control the profitability of every change initiated by a customer.


A change order is a document for profitability analysis and an audit trial of changes to the project revenue budget, commitments, and budgeted costs. Change orders do not alter the original figures of a project directly; they are tracked separately from the original figures for analysis.

Change orders provide the following functionalities:

+ The ability to record changes to the project revenue budget, cost budgets, and commitments.
+ The ability to review the list of change orders related to a project on the **Change orders** tab of the [Projects (PM301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/project-accounting/project-accounting-windows/projects-pm301000/index.md) window.
+ The ability to see in the [Commitments (PM306000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/project-accounting/project-accounting-windows/commitments-pm306000/index.md) window the changes for each purchase order as well as the original and committed values.
+ The ability to see on the **Change orders** tab of the [Purchase orders (PO301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/purchases/purchases-windows/purchase-orders-po301000/index.md) window the list of change orders that affect the purchase order.
+ The ability to see the profitability of every change of the project budget initiated by the customer.

The functionality of change orders is available only if the **Change orders** feature is enabled in the [Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/enable-or-disable-functionalites/enable-disable-functionalities-cs100000/index.md) window.

To enable the change order workflow for a project, which enables the creation of change orders, select the **Change order workflow** check box on the **Summary** tab of the [Projects (PM301000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/project-accounting/project-accounting-windows/projects-pm301000/index.md) window and save changes to the project.
