Creating an Order for a New Network

After creating a quote for a new network, the salesperson presents the quote to the customer as a proposal document or in some other form. After the customer approves this proposal, the salesperson converts the quote to an order and adds final additional engineering details if necessary.

This task is a step in Process of Ordering New Networks.

To create an order for a new network

1. Navigate to the Quotes screen, then the List view.
2. In the Quotes list, click the Name field for the quote for the network.
3. In the Quote Header form, click Auto Order.

   The quote is converted to an order.

4. Click the Network Line Detail view tab.
5. Add additional details (for example, the service ID and port number) to network components, as needed.
6. Click Validate.

   A dialog box appears indicating that the network is valid, or a dialog box appears listing network errors. If this dialog box does not appear or appears with an unexpected message, the product is not set up correctly. For more information, see Setting Up Network Ordering.

7. Change network components to resolve any listed errors.
8. Repeat Step 6 and Step 7 until you correct all errors.
9. To submit the order, click Submit.
