Order template
An order template stores a reusable selection of items. The template and an order created from it have different states and permissions.
An order template is a saved selection of items that can repeatedly serve as the basis for a cart. It may contain quantities and variants without itself being a submitted order. Unlike reordering, it does not need an earlier purchase as its starting point.
Treat the template and the order separately
In a fictional portal, a team maintains a shared template for its monthly requirements. One person may edit the template; another may order from it. These permissions do not have to be identical. If an item is deactivated, the application should explain the affected line when the template is used rather than silently omit it.
Shopware documents saved shopping lists as a related function. Define the account scope and editing permissions for your template. Check prices and availability again when it produces a current cart. A list does not reserve stock by itself.
