Associated Organizations Tab of Firm Setup - Proposals

A firm can have many associated organizations, but each organization can only be related to one firm.

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

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

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