      <Paragraph>To handle service requirements of a completed project and of
		projects in progress, <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Project</GUIRef> is integrated with <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Service</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Handling service requirements of completed projects involves
		providing service to a part or the entire project, as per the contract. This is
		made possible by transferring the project structure and the materials consumed
		in the project to <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Service</GUIRef>.You can copy the activity or the
		element structure and the material cost lines of the actual consumed material
		items, to Service so that these items become part of the physical breakdown
		structure. This enables identifying the items that need service and
		maintenance.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To handle service requirements of projects in progress, you can
		generate service orders for the project, in <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Project</GUIRef>. The cost
		incurred for the service performed, is transferred from <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Service</GUIRef> to <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Project</GUIRef>. To generate service
		orders, the reference activity from Service is linked to the activity or
		element labor budget lines in Projects.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When the service order is set to Costed in <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Service</GUIRef>, the cost is transferred to <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Project</GUIRef> and is aggregated as labor cost. You cannot close a project with outstanding
		service orders or if all the service orders linked to the project are not
		costed.</Paragraph>
