This is what the Work Order module looks like:
Certain actions can be performed which will trigger something known as an "Agreement Association Change". The "Agreement Association Change" will analysis the action performed and make the corresponding change to the association between the Work Order and the SRA/Contract. This will involve checking to see if the Work Order should be associated to the SRA or to the Contract, whether it is associated Comprehensively to the Contract and whether the finance values are correct. The "Agreement Association Change" can occur via actions performed on the Work Order, SRA, Contract and changes made to Building Managed dates.
