Request a change to the resource plan to modify a resource plan after you've submitted it for review.

## Before you begin

Role required: resource_user

## About this task

You can change the resource plans that are in the Requested or Confirmed state. To change the form fields of the plan, you first must request a change to the resource plan. However, you can adjust the requested allocations
directly on the plan without requesting for a change. These adjustments are rolled-up to the resource plan.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllResourceResource PlansAll.
2. Open a resource plan that is in the Requested or Confirmed and select Request Change.

## Result

The resource plan moves back to the Planning state and has the form fields enabled to make the required changes.
