About the Related Products Form

The Related Products record is used to store information about products related to the current product. Related product information, if active, prompts the service representative to remind customers of the related product when they order the main product. Related products records are only available from the Details > Related Products tab of the Products record.

Comments Tab

The Comments tab contains any additional details relevant to the Related Products record.
