Add a Claim Tool (Acquisitions)

Use the Add a Claim tool to create a claim segment for an orderline.

Select the Response Date using the Calendar gadget. This field defaults to NEVER.

Claim segments for multi-part orders will display a Parts field. Type the value of the orderline Parts field if all parts are to be claimed, such as PT. 1%3. If only selected parts are to be claimed, type the missing parts values, such as PT.3.
