orderCreate

Create a new order with comprehensive order data and associated entities.

Establishes a complete order in the system including all necessary components for order processing and fulfillment. This operation creates the order record along with all associated entities in a single transaction to ensure data consistency.

The order creation process includes:

  • Order header with customer and business information
  • Order items with product details, quantities, and pricing
  • Billing and delivery addresses (exactly 2 addresses required: 1 invoice, 1 delivery)
  • Payment information including totals, taxes, and payment method details
  • Shipping/postage information with carrier and service details
  • Initial order status and audit trail creation

Validation requirements:

  • Addresses must include exactly one invoice and one delivery address
  • Order items must have valid product references and positive quantities
  • Financial totals must be consistent across payment, postage, and total sections
  • All required fields must be provided according to business rules

The created order will be assigned a unique ID and UUID, and will trigger order creation events for downstream systems.

  • ORDER_CREATE_ERROR: Failed to create the order due to system error

  • ORDER_ADDRESS_CREATE_ERROR: Failed to create order addresses
