I have never used this feature.
the code that creates this is
applications\order\script\org\ofbiz\order\quote
createQuoteFromCart
From a business flow, I don't see a use for this the way it is written.
you making a quote for a product from a supplier, this means you need to
get the Suppliers Product Good ID, if your asking for price update to
that supplier.
createQuoteFromCart does not do this.
This requires you have the supplier product in the system already so you
have last price, which also is not included in the quote process.
my experience in requesting a quote from a supplier usually means you
don't have it in ofbiz yet. so using the createQuoteFromCart will not
work as written.
if you have a need for this then I would suggest you review the code
against normal business flow and make the modifications to it.
my 2 cents.

Hi Freeman Hi all
I go to order manager then choose quotes
click on the button create quote then choose the type to be product purchase
then I specify the from and to parties
From:Supplier
To:company
then I click submit the quote is created then I change the status of the
quote to be accepted
I click on the button create order in the quote screen then it navigates to
the order entry screen as if I'm in the middle of purchase order entry
would you please tell me what I'm doing is right or wrong
I know well that it's very ordinary to create sales order from a quote but
I'm asking if that's the case with purchase order
I'll repeat the error message that I encounter: enter a shipping address
there's no exception in the log file
when I go to create the PO again from ordinary order entry screen with the
same details I don't encounter any error messages
Thanks in advance
