# Create versions of co-product/by-product processes

Create new versions of co-product/by-product processes when, for example, a component is replaced by a cheaper or better-quality item, or when a customer requires a special version of a product.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Co-Product/By-Product Processes**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the co-product process that will have a new version.
3. On the **Versions** FastTab, choose **Actions**, and then choose **New Version** to open an empty co-product process version card.

The newly created version is automatically assigned the status **New**.

The time validity of the version is specified by the **Starting Date** field.
4. If desired, copy the data from a previous version to the new version.
5. Fill in the fields of the new co-product/by-product process version.
6. When you are done, change the **Status** field to **Certified**.
