Associate Records from other Modules to Service

You can use these links to create records in the other modules which will be linked to the service.

with a service:
- Quotes - View existing quotes associated with the service. Generate a new quote for the service
- Purchase Order - Create new purchase order and associate it to the service record
- Sales Order – Create new sales order and associate it to the service record

The interface allows you to:
