I find it tough to understand the requests,items and tasks when I open under the open records.

Lets make a sort of real analogy. A request may be all the item which were requested during my order in my cart. For each requested item, i will then have a catalog item. In order to fulfill that catalog item, one or more tasks may be created for each fulfiller person or group that needs to satisfy a given task

I got it now Berny . So now these catalog task will be assigned to the related approvers and each task which you have mentioned will be the subset of the requested items !!! Am I sensing right Berny.

Hi Raha,



Multiple requested items can be attached to a single request. Where as the catalog task can be associated to the requested item to fulfill the request.
