Question

While designing the integration of a BigMachines quote with an external Order Management System, you need to make sure that the quote is submitted as an Order on a single-action-click from within BigMachines.

Which three statements are true given this requirement?

A. The Order Management System will need to initiate the Submit Order call on the click of a button within its own system.
B. The BigMachines quote will initiate the Submit Order call on the click of a button from the quote.
C. The BigMachines quote will perform an updateTransaction() API call to send quote data in response to a valid request from the Order Management System.
D. The Order Management System will perform a getTransaction() API call to fetch quote data in response to a valid request from the BigMachines quote.
E. TransactionID of a quote is a key during the Order submission process.

Answer 1

For integrating BigMachines with an external Order Management System to submit an order with a single click, the BigMachines quote will initiate the Submit Order call, use the updateTransaction() API, and rely on TransactionID as a key identifier.

Step-by-step explanation:

When designing the integration of a BigMachines quote with an external Order Management System (OMS), there are a few key considerations to ensure the quote is submitted as an order with a single click within BigMachines:

• B. The BigMachines quote will initiate the Submit Order call on the click of a button from the quote. This means that the action to transmit the order to the OMS originates from within BigMachines.
• C. The BigMachines quote will perform an updateTransaction() API call to send quote data in response to a valid request from the Order Management System. This API call is used to update or submit the transaction data from BigMachines to the OMS.
• E. The TransactionID of a quote is a key during the Order submission process. It serves as a unique identifier to link the quote being submitted with the corresponding order in the OMS.

Statement A is incorrect because the initiative to submit an order should come from BigMachines, not the OMS. Similarly, statement D is also incorrect as it is the responsibility of the BigMachines system to push the data to the OMS, rather than the OMS fetching it. The overall goal is to create a seamless integration that allows for efficient order processing with minimal user actions required.
