Project: Project Workflows: Service Tracking from a Product: Create a New Project but No Task
Purpose
This document will show you how to configure a service product to create only a project from a confirmed sale order.
Important!
Products must be configured as Service products in order for them to generate projects and tasks. Follow the guidelines in the Product Creation Workflow document. The steps below will build upon your preconfigured service product.
Process
To get started, navigate to the Inventory app.
Under the general information tab, configure as indicated:
Create On Order: Select Project.
Project Template: Select an existing project template from the drop-down list (optional). Note: This field only appears if the Create on Order selection is Project & Task or Project. 
Save your changes when completed.
Create a Sales Order
Navigate to the Sales app.
Click NEW and complete the form as indicated. Many of these fields will auto-populate, based on the customer's data:
Customer: Select the appropriate customer.
Invoice Address: Customer's mailing address for invoicing.
Delivery Address: Customer's delivery address.
Expiration: The date the quote will expire.
Quotation Date: Creation date of draft.
Pricelist: Customer's default pricelist.
Payment Terms: Terms of payment (pay on order vs. pay on delivery).
Under Order Lines, click Add a Product and enter the service product you configured above, as well as the Quantity.
After the product and quantity are added, click confirm.
Review the Created Project
After confirming the Sales Order, the page will reload.
At the top of the Sale Order you'll see a new smart buttons added called Project Overview. Click the PROJECTs button.
Here you'll see the summary page of the new project that was just created from this Sales Order along with new smart buttons to jump to relevant information. The name of the project will match the Sale Order reference number (e.g. S00058) but this can of course be modified if desired.
Good to Know!
Ordered Hours Become Sold/Remaining Hours
If you go to the Projects application and click on the progress button (On Track in this case), you'll see Sold and Delivered Hours listed as 10.00 and 0.00 respectively. This is because we added ten hours of this service product to the original Sales Order.
