Core Commerce uses the order repository to define quoting functionality. For detailed information on the order repository, refer to the Order Repository section of the Working With Purchase Process Objects chapter. You can also find information on repositories in the Repository Guide.
Quote information is defined in the /atg/commerce/order/orderrepository.xml file with the quoteInfo repository item-descriptor, which contains the following properties:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
| The repository ID of the quote. |
| The date and time that the quote was requested. |
| The date and time that this version of the quote will expire. |
| A note from the customer. |
| A note from the quote provider to the customer. |
| The quote provider’s reference for this quote. |
| The employee who completed this quote’s reference. |
Additionally, the order item-descriptor contains a quoteInfo property that associates the order with quote information, and an activeQuoteOrderId property, which is used when working with quote histories. For information on quote histories, refer to the Displaying Quote Histories section.
