There are several ways to activate an order that is in Draft status. You can activate an order by:

  • Populating the Ready for Activation Date in the Order Details page on the UI.
  • Populating the Ready for Activation Date on the API or Data Sync API 

After activation, the Order and related order line items are marked as Activated.

Similarly, you can also activate individual order line items (OLIs) under an order. Upon activation, the OLI status is updated to Activated, while the order may still be in Partially Fulfilled status. The order moves to Activated status when all the OLIs under it are activated.

To activate an order from the UI

  1. Navigate to the Order Details page.
  2. Click the Edit button.

    The Edit button remains hidden if the order has already been activated.

  3. Select the Ready for Activation Date.
  4. Click Save to activate the order or Cancel to return to the Order Details page.
    On activation, the Order and related order line items are marked as Activated, and the ready-for-activation date is populated on the order and order line item records.

To activate an order line item from the UI

  1. Navigate to the order line item's Details page.
  2. Click the Edit button.

    The Edit button remains hidden if the order line item has already been activated.

  3. Select the Ready for Activation Date.
  4. Click Save to activate the order line item or Cancel to return to the order line item's Details page.
    The status of the order line item is updated to Active. If this is the only OLI under the order, the Order's status is also updated to Active; otherwise, it is updated to Partially Fulfilled.
