Ordering products in a request


Your company might create service request offerings that enable you to order hardware and software products. These specific service request offerings make use of the Product Ordering form. This form is distinctly different from the Provide Information form that you use to submit other types of service requests. The Product Ordering form lists only those hardware and software items that your company has made available for product ordering.
