Dear Support

After exhausting the web searches for this topic and reviewing previous list answers I cannot find answer to the following question:

I am using OTRS has IT Service Desk with no major problem.

Now I want to enable the use of Services and SLAs (Internal and with third parties).

What I did was:

1. I have created different services.
2. I have created different SLAs and then I related to the corresponding service.
3. I have enabled Customer <-> Service, the services I want to publish to my customers,

So, when a users goes trough the customer.pl he/she is able to select the service and SLA. Here is the first problem. They don't know nothing about services and SLAs, so first question is: Is there any way to automatically relate a QUEUE to a service-sla or at least  automatically select the SLA of a service (in this case only a one-to-one relationship must exist for each service)?

Second, If I have a service named ERP and I want it to relate 3 SLAs:

ERP Service:
      - SLA Internal - The internal SLA with the ERP Department (These are OTRS Agents) -> Resolution rate
      - SLA External - The Third parties such as consultancy services which are not OTRS Agents (I will escalate tickets via direct mail to them)  -> Response Time
      - SLA Internal Headquarters - These are company specialist from our company's headquarters. /They use a separate OTRS implementation, so we will forward a ticket to the corresponding system Mail Address so the ticket can be issued to the right queue in their system) -> Resolution rate

The problem is that the user don't know which SLA to chose. What is the recommendation in this example?

Any ideas will be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.
