# About change orders

You can use the change order functionality to control changes to a 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.

With the help of change orders, you can do the following:

+ Record changes to the project revenue budget, cost budgets, and commitments.
+ 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.
+ See the changes for each purchase order as well as the original and committed values in the [Commitments (PM306000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/project-accounting/project-accounting-windows/commitments-pm306000/index.md) window.
+ See the list of change orders that affect the purchase order 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.
+ See the profitability of every change of the project budget initiated by the customer.

Change orders are available when the **Change orders** functionality 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.

Change orders are managed in the [Change orders (PM308000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/project-accounting/project-accounting-windows/change-orders-pm308000/index.md) window.
