Associated Organizations Tab of the Firm Setup - Proposals Form

An enterprise can have many associated organizations, but each organization can only be related to one enterprise.

If you use DPS 254/255/330 Proposals, you must use the Associated Organizations tab to enter and maintain links from an enterprise to its associated organizations.

When you add an organization on this tab, DPS checks to ensure that the organization is not associated with any other enterprise. If it is, DPS alerts you of this problem and prompts you to select a different organization.

An organization must already exist in the DPS database before you can enter it on the Associated Organizations tab.
