Generating a project from within the sales order actions menu
Users can create projects on Flowlens in two ways:
Creating a project via a sales order
Users can create a project directly from a sales order in instances where selected order parts are defined as follows:
- Manufactured (Yes)
- Generates Unique Assets (Yes)
If a sales order includes parts marked as 'Yes' for the generation of unique assets, projects may need to be made to facilitate the creation of those unique assets. Rather than close the sales order and navigate to the Project's page, users can save time and effort by more efficiently selecting 'Create Project' from the 'Actions' drop-down while working on their sales order.
Creating a project on the Projects page
