Using this function you can enter several follow-up actions that should be performed for a project order or quotation and distribute them among different handlers.
The procedure described below is for project orders. Note: Select the Work with project quotation planned follow-up menu item if you want to enter planned follow-up for a quotation. Apart from this, the procedure is identical with that of the project order.
- Select the Work with project planned follow-up menu item.
- You access Planned follow-up maintenance. Complete the following field:
- Project number
- Enter the project or quotation number for which you want to enter planned follow-up actions.
- Tip: Click Project reference to search for a project/quotation by your reference, or click Internal reference to search by internal reference.
- You access the second Planned follow-up maintenance panel. (Note: If previous records exist, you must first click Add to access this panel). Complete the following fields:
- Line
- The line numbers are proposed by the system, but can be changed.
- Code

- Handler
