What is a Project?A project emerges every time a customer uploads parts with the intention of initiating a request, generating a quote, or placing an order. Each project encapsulates the related requests, quotes, and orders, culminating in the successful completion of a project, which is typically marked by an order that has been paid for and dispatched. | Info |
