Although you import most event orders from your company's Event Management System (EMS), you can also create a new event order on the Manage Event Orders screen.
Note: Best practice is that it should come from EMS. See wording of cloning note.
In the unusual circumstance that an upcoming event to be serviced by banquets does not have an event order in the EMS, it's possible to create an event order in MEO screen.
Why would you create a new event order? I'm assuming that 9x will be the first time that users create new event orders in RMS rather than in their own EMS?
