Bid Day Alternates: Keep summary bid day changes in alternate tab when alternates are posted to the estimate.

I am running into a issue when making a bid day instance and adjusting unit cost in the alternates tab.  Alternates are sent to GC's or owners at the time of bid and can be selected up to a month later depending on cost.  If the owner selects Alternate 1 of 5 for an example and the "post" button is pushed to add the alternate to the estimate then any bid day changes are removed from the alternates.  The only way to fix this issue is to take the printed alternate proposal and retype all the alternate unit cost which leave room for human error.

    I would also like it if when the bid was awarded and Alternate was not accepted during the contract phase to be able to PUSH the Alternate to a Change Order instead. ( Currently I have to re-enter all the information into the CO before I can pick it in the PM-CMR )
