Submit Order from Shopping Cart

Explanation

Use this activity when creating an order from the Shopping Cart. The Shopping Cart is a place holder for the products that the user wants to order. This activity is intended for a B2B user acting as a B2B Customer.

You can perform this activity in the lobby page Order Management for Customers and the lobby element for Shopping Cart. Use the Submit Order command.

Note: The Shopping Cart is also possible to reach from Products page, Product Detail page and Favorite Products page.

Prerequisites

• In the Customer page, the B2B option must be enabled for the appropriate customer.
• The user has added at least one product in the Shopping Cart for the customer, specified as the user’s default customer, in B2B User – Customer page.
• Make sure that there is a default order type defined on site-customer combination level, site level or customer level for the user’s default site and/or default customer. This is needed in order to create a customer order from Shopping Cart.
• If the Shopping Cart contains configurable parts, configuration must be done prior to submit.

System Effects

After submitting, a customer order in status Planned is created with option B2B Order enabled in Customer Order page. The Release for Mtrl. Planning option on the created customer order lines are disabled, in order to exclude them from planning engines. However, if Priority Reservation is applicable for the customer order line created from the shopping cart, then the Release for Mtrl. Planning option will always be enabled.
