Mass Convert Inventory Records

Purpose

To mass convert inventory records. The following are the conversions you can perform:

Quotes to Sales Orders or Invoices

You can convert up to 50 records in a single API call. Note that you can perform the conversion on records from only one of these inventory modules in a single API call. It operates asynchronously, meaning you won't receive an immediate response to your request.

Notes

To perform inventory record conversions, it is necessary to enable inventory module permission in both the Organize modules and Security Control. If these permissions are not enabled, the system will give a NO_PERMISSION error. Please note that only users with admin access has access to these settings.
- To enable the Organize Modules permission, go to Setup > Customization > Modules and Fields > Organize Modules tab. Choose the module you want to enable and grant permission.
- To enable Security Control permissions, go to to Setup > Security Control > Profiles. Select the desired profiles (only custom profiles, for the system-defined profiles, it is already enabled) that require access to the modules, choose the modules (Quotes and Sales Orders) you want to enable from Convert and Mass Convert options in Import/Export Permissions section, and grant permission.
