What are the 'Related Orders' on the Project Page?
The 'Related Orders' on the Project Page (Jobbag) show other projects and/or Stock Orders that were ordered at the same time from the same shopping basket on the Customer Catalogue.
For a combination of quoted item plus stock items this is pretty clear - stock items go through a different workflow but are (likely) to be related to the production work (they'll probably need to go in the same shipment) so they are listed as 'related' and can be treated as such.
But where a project has other 'related' projects this is usually where 2 requirements have been specified and quoted at different times and therefore already belong to 2 independent projects. When they are both placed in the same basket and ordered they are considered to be 'related'.
A more normal usage pattern for users wishing to have quotes for different requirements at different times but still consider them all within the same project would be to us the 'Add Part' option to the Project View on the Customer Catalogue. Parts that are subsequently placed in the basket and ordered retain their project context.
