Considerations for Creating Multiple Orders from a Quote

Order Creation Limits and Requirements

Review these technical constraints and data handling rules before splitting quotes.

• The Sales Transaction Line Editor experience excludes support for partial order creation, also known as ordering part of a quote.
• The API alone supports the manual selection of specific line items that constitute a subset of a quote for a new order.
• The Advanced Quote to Order API creates a partial order with a subset of lines and returns later to create more orders from that same quote.
• Asset transfer source and destination quotes require the Create Single Order option.
• The Transaction Management system prices and configures each created order independently.
• New orders exclude cross-order pricing and tax calculations.
• You can’t split bundled product components or line items that have pricing dependencies.
• Splitting a quote with existing header level adjustments carries over the same pricing adjustments to the resulting orders created, but they aren’t re-applied to the orders. It’s best practice to not reprice orders when they’re created from a quote, so all pricing remains the same as the pricing from the original quote. Any further pricing operation causes those adjustments to be re-applied, which can result in over-discounted pricing.
• You can’t split ramp groups.
• Nested groups in quotes split into multiple orders.
• A single quote supports a maximum split of 200 orders.

API Processing Behavior

The Create Orders From Quote API handles order headers and line items that use different processing methods.
