The Service Order button allows users to add a third party Service Order to a Work Order. The ability to link Work Orders to Service Orders is beneficial for on-call maintenance personnel. The Service Order Express window helps streamline this process. Users have the following options:

• Create a new Service Order for a Work Order
• Link an existing Service Order to Work Order

See below for more information on how to link/create these Service Orders.

Note: The Service Order will remain open until it has been received by the third party. At that point, the vendor must manually close the Service Order.
