Issue a draft quote to the customer

POST /orders/{orderId}/quote

Issue a draft quote to the customer: its prices lock from here — a reprice is 409 LineNotRepriceable and an edit 409 EditNotAllowed until it is reopened — and it still holds no stock.

validUntil optionally records the date it holds its prices until. Appends fulfillment.quote-issued. 409 NotAQuote if the order is not a draft quote or an issued one; 409 LineUnpriced while any line has no price (set one with PUT /orders/:orderId/lines/:lineId/price — zero is a price), QuoteEmpty with none; 409 QuotesDisabled when quoteMode is draft-orders. Idempotent by state: a quote is issued once until reopened, so a retry answers it as it stands, appending nothing.

Access

Requires orders:write.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

Idempotent by state: a quote is issued once until reopened, so a retry answers it as it stands, appending nothing.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

fulfillment.quote-issued

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: fulfillment-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`FulfillmentOrderNotFound` orderId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`NotAQuote` orderId, status	The order is not a quote, so it cannot be issued, reopened or placed. `status` says what it is.	Read the order. A placed order is already an order.
`LineUnpriced` orderId, lineIds, skus	A line has no price, and every line of an order needs one. `lineIds` names them.	Send `unitPriceCents` for those lines, or list the SKUs in a catalog.
`QuoteEmpty` orderId	The request was refused, and nothing changed.	Nothing changed. Read the record, then decide.
`QuotesDisabled` orderId	The request was refused, and nothing changed.	Nothing changed. Read the record, then decide.
`BelowMinimumMargin` orderId, lines, approval, message	The request was refused, and nothing changed.	Nothing changed. Read the record, then decide.
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`502`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`InventoryUnavailable` reason	The inventory service did not answer, so nothing changed.	Send the same request again shortly.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
