3663586 - Different API endpoints are used when creating a quote

Symptom

Different API endpoints are used for quote creation depending on how the quote is created.

  • When a quote is created from the SAP CPQ UI, the RD API endpoint is used.
  • When a quote is created from an external system, the REST API endpoint is used.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental"

Environment

SAP CPQ

Resolution

  • This behavior is expected by design.
  • When a quote is created from the SAP CPQ UI, the /api/rd/v1/Cart/CreateNew RD API endpoint is invoked.
  • When a quote is created from an external system, the /api/v1/quotes REST API endpoint is exposed for quote creation.
