Hi Jan

When calculating and creating orders there is a lot of context like currency (prices), country (VAT, delivery costs), user (Discounts and prices), language, stock locations etc. that has an affect. When you create code running out of context, it cannot calculate because of the lack of some of these things.

DW 9.8 supports this much better as the API is moving towards a "Context independent" state where these things can be handled.

I think we need to know your version and see some code in order to guide you further.

Hi Nikolai,

The solution is using DW 9.6.5.

This is an example of what is in code - atleast some of the important stuff:

OrderLineService orderLineService = new OrderLineService();
OrderService orderService = new OrderService();

Order order = new Order();
order.IsCart = true;

// Set general information
order.PaymentMethodId = "PAY1";
order.CustomerAccepted = true;
order.ShopId = "SHOP1";
order.LanguageId = "LANG1";
order.CurrencyCode = "DKK";
order.CurrencyName = "DKK";

Product product = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Products.GetProductByNumber(productNo.InnerText, true);                             
OrderLine orderLine = order.CreateOrderLine(product);
orderLine.Currency = currency;
orderLine.Quantity = Convert.ToDouble(qty.InnerText);
orderLineService.SetUnitPrice(orderLine, Convert.ToDouble(price.InnerText.Replace(".", ",")), true);
                                                   
orderService.SetOrderComplete(order);
orderService.Save(order);
orderService.UpdateCartToOrder(order);

Hi Nicolai,

No problem. I will cheat and do it on the site via a template then:)

TY for the fast response.
