Hi All

I'm currently writing code that creates orders in iMIS using ibo.net. The orders are created for the given customer and the status of the order is "QUOTREADY". From what I have read in here and elsewhere it is pretty much impossible to create full orders using ibo.net and I have come to accept that. So I understand that the order is really a quote whos status is "QUOTEREADY". So how do I make the quote a full order? This is the process I'm following at the moment:

We have done some testing and are trying to determine if it is possible to process an order thru the API that results in a complete order in iMIS with full Transactional entery (order, order_lines, Invoice, Trans and Activity) without walking thru the order stages in the desktop.

At this point the only order we can get with the API is a proforma and we are seeing missing DIST lines in Trans.  We are working in 15.1.3 and need to determine if the API can do this as part of the design, if we are calling it correctly or if there is a bug in the version we are working with.

This seems like it should work but it is not working.

WebUserLoginID = "any valid loginID"
IiMISUser login_user = Asi.iBO.ContactManagement.CContactUser.LoginByWebLogin(WebUserLoginID);
user = Asi.iBO.ContentManagement.CWebUser.LoginByPrincipal(login_user);
 

Has anyone had any problems with the special pricing function in the Orders module.  We are wanting to GIVE away the 1st item and then charge for the 2nd on.  I can't get the special pricing rule to take $0 or figure out a way to offer the first item free for each product.  I've submitted this to ASI, but haven't gotten a resolution yet.  Anyone else out there having the same problem?  If so, please submit a Service Request on it, maybe they will get it fixed.

When was the last time you had a good look at the coding structures you use in the Order Entry/Inventory modules? The product code itself, product type, kitting, publication demographics, even the user defined fields. Are the codes used still aligned with the types of reports required by management?

Spend a few hours and complete an in-depth review of your product codes.
