Manual Order (Built In) Creation Process
Document Purpose
This document provides step-by-step instructions for the manual creation of “Orders (Built In)” within Salesforce Lightning. This process replaces the previous Shopify-based Splicecom ordering workflow. The change follows the acquisition of Splicecom and ensures all Splicecom-related orders are now managed directly within Salesforce.
Scope
This procedure applies to all Agents responsible for creating Splicecom-related orders within Salesforce. It covers the full process from initiating a new order through to saving it in “Draft” and finalizing it as “New”.
Audience
This document is intended for Sales Agents and Sales Operations staff who have been authorised and trained to create and manage Orders (Built In) records within Salesforce Lightning.

Training
The Agent must have completed the internal training module titled “Salesforce Orders (Built In) Process Training” or equivalent.
System Access
