Adding Bulk Items to the Shopping Cart (Standard Partner Commerce)

Business users frequently order customizable items in bulk. For example, a business user might order 20 customizable phone lines for installation at the same location. Rather than configure each phone line separately, the user can configure one phone line and apply that configuration to all the phone lines. The user can then adjust as needed the configuration of individual phone lines.

This procedure uses the workflow described in Workflow That Ungroups Quotes.
