Objective

To add a related item to a purchase order or subcontract in the Commitments tool. 

Background

In Procore, a Related Item is a link between two Procore objects. It is an option that's available in many Procore tools, such as Commitments, Documents, RFIs, Submittals and Transmittals. For example, if you are creating a submittal, you might add a Procore drawing of the installation location or a photo of the item to be installed as a related item on the submittal. If you are adding a new deficiency item, you might link a Potential Change Order (PCO) or a Commitment Change Order (CCO) as a related item, so the subcontractor can view the costs associated with the deficiency item. 

You can add related items to a commitment in the Related Items tab of a commitment.  To learn more about related items, see What are 'related items' in Procore?
