Introduction
This document describes how to implement the Building Block Multiple Order Entry (MOE)
Reference file setup
Use / create a catalog / product file
There should be a column that “groups” the records. In this example, “name”. We will search on
it. The key column shouldn’t be used for search because only one “size” will be available per
line.
It is best the “color” to be same for all records in a group and be part of the product name.
The price can different for each product.
It is not required to have all sizes in a group. Above, hats have no XL size.
We could have our data arranged in other ways: for example, the horizontal column to be
“fabric”.

Rules
Rules 1 and 2 are simply to control the flow.
Rule 3 is to prevent the user from submitting not available quantities. This can be achieved in
another way by specifying the quantity column in the reference object. But then only simple
comparison can be achieved.
Rules 4 and 5 are to calculate the price of each order line. “total.price” should be inserted in the
main case. In our example it is defined in FactDefinitions sheet with initial value. So when a new
case is created, it will be inserted with value 0. Then the child cases (created from the order
lines) will update the parent’s fact.
It is not necessary to have flat calculations. Rule 5 says that if ordered products for one size are
more than 10, we give for that order 10% discount.
If we have rules that accumulate all ordered products and change the price based on their
number, predictions will be incorrect.

Creating OrderMatrix custom item
In a Harmony configuration click on “Create new sheet …” menu item. Then choose “Matrix order config
sheet”.
When submitting the dialog, a new sheet is created and example usage of it is made in the Dialogs
sheet.

We move the example dialog item that was created by the Apps Script to Step 2 dialog:
Nothing else is needed!
