Some Things to Notice:

  • In the newly created project, you will need to change the sales order number and the purchase order number (if applicable).
  • You must complete the project document list by filling out the delivery days and reference date.
  • If you selected the checkbox to copy the units, the stages and levels will be filled out for you.
