In the Marketplace Platform, draft orders allow you to save the order configuration when you are creating an order. You can save purchase orders and change orders as a draft during order creation.
Once you save an order as a draft, you can return to it anytime to complete the ordering process. Saved draft orders are displayed on the Orders page with a Draft status.
The Purchase wizard allows you to save a purchase order as a draft. To do this, follow these steps:
Go to the Products page (Marketplace > Products) and select the product you wish to buy.
On the product details page, click Buy now. The ordering process begins.
In the purchase wizard, complete the steps as needed until you reach the Details section.
In the Details section, click Save order to save the order. Your draft order is saved and you can close the purchase wizard.
A change order represents an order to change subscription quantities. Change orders are placed when you adjust the number of your licenses. This includes ordering more licenses or reducing the number of existing licenses.
When creating a change order for quantity adjustments, you can save the change order as a draft and submit it later. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the Edit subscription wizard. You can launch the wizard by clicking Edit on the subscription details page.
In the Edit subscription wizard, change the license count as needed and click Next.
In the Details section, click Save order to save the change order as a draft. Your draft order is saved and you can close the wizard.
When you are ready to finalize the draft order, open the order from the Orders page and click Edit in the upper right to continue where you left off.
You can either save the same order as a draft again or proceed to place the order. Draft orders can be updated and saved as many times as needed.
If a draft order is no longer required, you can also delete it. Once a draft order is placed, it's no longer listed as a draft.
