Commercial Order data model

What this covers

The conceptual (header-level) structure of a Commercial Order in Order-based Checkout: field groups and how amounts are derived.

Context

  • The Commercial Order is order-first (no technical cart).
  • Beyond DRAFT (editable) vs placed (immutable), it has no intrinsic statuses; overall progression is driven by child Logistic Orders (see OMS lifecycle).

Compatibility note

  • The processing attribute is a legacy field inherited from cart-centric flows (Cart v2).
  • It is not used in Order-based Checkout. If it appears in some responses for backward compatibility, ignore it in new integrations.

🧩 Field groups

Identifiers & scope

  • Order identifier (alphanumeric), Account, Store / Store-view, Currency (ISO 4217), created/updated timestamps.
  • Optional external references (e.g., ERP reference).

Custom fields at creation

  • The create endpoint supports order-level custom fields (customFields[] with customFieldId/customFieldValue and customFieldIdType, defaulting to EXTERNAL_ID). See ORDER-108.

Buyer references & notes

  • Purchase reference (e.g., PO or requisition), buyer notes, additional free-form references through custom fields.

Parties & addresses

  • Shipping address, Billing address, contact person/email/phone.

    Updates while DRAFT use ORDER-215 (shipping) and ORDER-213 (billing).

Aggregated prices over child Logistic Orders

  • orderLogisticPrices (currency, totalPriceWithTax, totalPriceWithoutTax, totalProductTaxAmount, totalProductWithTax, totalProductWithoutTax, totalShippingFeesWithTax, totalShippingFeesWithoutTax, totalShippingTaxAmount, totalTaxAmount).
  • Currency is the one used by underlying Logistic Orders (single currency).

Counts

  • productCount — sum of quantities across all lines of all child Logistic Orders.
  • lineCount — total number of lines across all child Logistic Orders (≠ products; a product can have multiple price lines).

Snapshots

  • customerAccountSnapshot — { externalId, id, name, vatNumber }
  • customerUserSnapshot — { civility, email, externalId, firstName, id, lastName, phone }

Lifecycle timestamps (Commercial Order)

  • createdAt — creation time of the Commercial Order
  • updatedAt — last update time of the Commercial Order
  • validatedAt — time when all child Logistic Orders moved to CREATED (validation moment)

Legacy attribute (do not use)

  • processing — legacy from Cart v2, not used in Order-based Checkout. May appear in some payloads; ignore.

Source metadata (optional)

  • When initialized from a Quote or from an Operation, a reference to that source is stored so you can trace provenance.

    For Operations, the tenant flag OPERATIONS must be enabled.

Note

This page documents the Commercial Order header-level model (aggregates, counts, snapshots, timestamps).

Lines are not included in ORDER-560 (list) and ORDER-500 (header by id). Use ORDER-561 to read lines. See “Working with Draft Orders ▸ Add lines / Read lines” for line payloads and validations.

🧮 Amount math (conceptual, provider-neutral)

Within each Logistic Order

Apply the per-line and header math as usual (unitPrice × qty, discounts, taxes, shipping/duty).


Commercial Order aggregation

orderLogisticPrices returns the sum of these amounts across all child Logistic Orders:

  • currency, totalPriceWithoutTax / totalPriceWithTax
  • totalProductWithoutTax / totalProductWithTax / totalProductTaxAmount
  • totalShippingFeesWithoutTax / totalShippingFeesWithTax / totalShippingTaxAmount
  • totalTaxAmount

🔒 Editability reminder

  • All field changes (addresses, references, lines) happen while the order is DRAFT.
  • After placement, the Commercial Order becomes immutable; progress is reflected by Logistic Orders.
