Siebel Public Sector Guide > Managing Benefits Cases >
Creating Orders for Benefits Cases
An agent can create an order for a benefits case. The Status field of the benefits case must be Active to create an order. If you delete a benefits case for which you create an order, then the order still appears in the Service Orders screen. For more information about creating orders, see Siebel Order Management Guide. The Orders view for a benefits case includes all orders for the benefits case. These orders include:
- The orders that are not related to benefits and to third-party service providers. Users create these orders using the procedure in this topic.
- Referral orders that users create for the benefits in a case. For more information about creating a referral order for a benefit in a case, see Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide.
NOTE: If you are not using Siebel Order Management, then the administrator must disable the workflows and signals that relate to pricing functionality so that error messages do not appear when you add products to orders.
