Unable to create an order for a newly created organization in Sterling Order Management System.

Question & Answer


Question

How do you create order for a newly created organization in IBM Sterling Order Management?

Cause

For a newly created organization, when you try to create an order from Application Console, the order lines and other features are unusable (i.e. disabled or greyed out).

Answer

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new organization (e.g. ENT1).
    a. Parent Organization: DEFAULT
    b. Primary Enterprise: ENT1
    c. Role: Enterprise, Seller
    d. Inventory, Catalog, Capacity organization: ENT1.


  2. Create an Order in Application Console.


  3. Select "ENT1" as Enterprise and Seller. Specify a country code (e.g. US).


  4. Click on Create Order button

As a result, the order lines and other features are unusable (greyed out).
When an order is created with Enterprise: DEFAULT & Seller: ENT1, it works.


To resolve, define the modification rules for the new organization using below steps:
  1. Launch Distributed Order Management from Application Manager.


  2. Click on the hammer icon for 'Load Rules for Organization' and select the organization (e.g. ENT1), and click Ok.


  3. Go to option : Document Specific - Sales Order - Fulfillment - Order Modification.


  4. Double click on Order Modification Groups and create a new Status Modification Group (e.g. Group1) and Save.


  5. Click on Copy Hub Rules icon at the right top.


  6. On Confirmation dialog, Click Ok.


  7. Create a new order from Application Console with Enterprise & Seller as ENT1.

Order will get created properly.
