Link to Services

[Jeremy]

Is there a way to link contracts or suppliers to services in Service Manager?

Also is there a way to automatically create a supplier from a PCF form? We would like to set up a form for new suppliers and we would like, once supplier is authorised, to create a supplier in Supplier Manager then to add the contracts etc

@Jeremy thanks for your post.

This is not currently possible but I can see the value in doing this so I will feed this back to our product teams.

This would be useful, and possibly a way to extend how much information we could associate easily with a service.

+ 1 for this feature too

Hi,

We are starting to develop plans to utilise Supplier Manager and we would find it really useful if you could associate Services, like you are able to with Assets, to each Supplier and Contract.

This is because we use technical Services rather than assets where we do not have direct visibility of underlying supplier assets (rather than creating a dummy asset).

Similarly it would be useful if the integration with Service Manager and with 3rd party (on-hold) to create Events would recognise those relationships as it currently does with Assets.

@George Zippo I've merged this with the existing thread.

Just bumping this one as I keep getting asked about this internally.  It would be great to hear back from the product/development team

We use Assets to link Services to Suppliers. You create a "bridging" asset and link it to both the Service and Supplier records.

It is then possible to report on this connection so we can see the Suppliers per Service (and their linked contracts).

However, I am +1 for a direct link...
