Yes. In **[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com)**, a maintenance ticket can be directly linked to a material purchase request using a relational data field, with no need to re-enter the same information across two different tables.

## Why does relational data avoid rework between maintenance and purchasing?

Without a connection between tables, every time a maintenance ticket needed a part, someone would have to type in information that already exists elsewhere — creating rework and the risk of the two records drifting apart. By linking the tables, the data is registered once and reused wherever needed.

## How to connect maintenance and purchasing in Jestor?

1. Register the employee, client, or equipment once in the corresponding table.
2. When opening a maintenance ticket, use a relational data field to link it directly to a material purchase request.
3. Information about cleaning, reservations, and purchases cross-references automatically between the connected tables, with no workaround needed.
4. Opening the person's or ticket's card shows the full history and connections in a single place.

| Table                  | Connected to                             |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Maintenance ticket** | Material purchase request                |
| **Person record**      | Full history accessible through the card |
