there may be certain language that you will want to display on the order form based on the quote details what discounts do you want to display? do you want to show all quote line items that have a price that is greater than $0? consider your requirements, and create a word document of your order form step 2 docusign apps launcher login to salesforce and launch the docusign apps launcher click on the “configure” button for the document generation option click on the ‘create a template configuration’ to create a new template give your template a name and select the data source quote choose the microsoft word template editor click on next step 3 add fields this next step is where you would add fields to map to your order form every field on the order form that requires data from the account, quote, quote line items will need to be mapped in this step the following are the main areas that you will likely need to map account contact quote quote line items opportunity the following list of fields are the most common set of fields used on every order form account this is a related object to the quote fields on this object are typically the account name and billing address information account name billing street billing city billing state/province billing zip/postal code billing country contact this is a related object to the quote full name email quote this is the main data source you can map any field on the quote object, but the following are the most common fields payment method payment term billing period subscription term start date end date expiration date total amount total price subtotal list total discount amount system discount amount quote number purchase order quote line items this is a related object to the quote, and contains the quote line items that you will need product name list price discount % total price quantity discount amount system discount amount list total product2 long description the docusign fields are used to indicate the signature fields signer 1 signature date signed name signer 2 signature date signed name step 4 copy fields to template in this next step, copy the fields to your order form template each field on the order form must be mapped most order forms will include a table to show each of the quote line items in this case, you will want to add the following mapping to ensure that every line on the quote line item is added to the product table <# \<tablerow select="/quote//quotelineitems" /> #> now map each of the quote line item fields (see the screenshot below) step 5 upload documents once you have mapped all the fields, click on next docusign’s next step is to upload the word document give your file a name (e g order form), and a file format (word vs pdf) once you have defined the name, click on next step 6 preview documents this step will allow you to preview a quote on your order form as you preview, you may need to make adjustments to the format (e g margins), or the mapping docusign will highlight any fields in yellow if they are not mapped correctly you can continue to iterate through the docusign steps as many times as needed until your order form is how you would like it step 7 create button this is the last step in the docusign gen template you can type in the name of the button that you want to create (e g generate order form) this button can be visible on any quote layout you would like once the button is created, you can now generate an order form for any quote esignature follow the steps in docusign for esignature to set up the ability to send the order form for signatures launch docusign apps launcher → esignature → configure special use cases the following are specific use cases to consider when defining an order form how do i format currency fields? docusign allows some formatting of the currency fields however, you can reach out to nue if you want the currency fields to be rounded to two decimal places the nue team can run a script to update the display how do i sort the list of quote line items? click on the down arrow (where copy is), and select options then add the name of the field that you would like to sort by how do i add conditional statements? in your order template, you can add conditional text if a condition is met for example, if the acceptance period on the quote is populated with a value, then additional text can be added in the statement below, the sentence (“this order can be canceled… ”) will only display if there is a value in the acceptance period <# \<conditional test="/quote/acceptance period c"/>#> this order can be canceled at any time within the acceptance period <# \<endconditional/> #> troubleshooting docusign there may be times that you run into an error generating the order form if you do run into errors, try the steps below in the following order reconnect docusign (disconnect > reconnect) and make sure you connect to the right account (i e, developer ( account d docusign com ) vs production ( app docusign com )) after you reconnect, make sure to add back all the users and their permissions in docusign gen login to docusign, and see if whoever originally created the template has shared the template access to all the users that need to generate docusign you should share access or transfer access to other users this is through docusign login > user management > actions > share (or transfer) templates if the above doesn't work, go to docusign gen > clone to a new template, and re upload the template with a different file name (the different file name is recommended by a community user docusign may not have fixed this bug ) if the above still doesn't work, it could be because the mapping fields are either not accessible in the current salesforce account, or the metadata doesn't exist
