# ORDERING

## CONVERT A QUOTE TO AN ORDER 

Orders are generated from valid quotes, i.e. that are in a “<mark style="color:$primary;">READY</mark>” state. Orders cannot be generated form quotes that have expired (or failed).  &#x20;

To place an order, first select the relevant quote from the list on the main **Quotes** page and select the **Order** option.&#x20;

<sup><sub>Note: The Orders page displays orders that are in the delivery queue, and should not be used to generate a new order.<sub></sup>

Then select a **Site** for the B end customer location (the A end is the existing hub location). &#x20;

In data centre locations, the “**Default Shared Area**” should be selected. &#x20;

In enterprise office locations, select the “**Choose site**” option and either select an existing PoP site (e.g. 4th floor comms room) or request to deliver at a new PoP site. &#x20;

Next, enter the **site contact details** as requested (name, email, phone). Enter separate on-site and technical contacts as required.&#x20;

Then select a **hub** and assign a **VLAN ID**. &#x20;

Note that only hubs located within the hub metro location assigned to the quote will be displayed. (For example, where the Paris metro is selected as a hub location only hubs located in Paris will be displayed).&#x20;

The “**use next available VLAN**” option is not recommended if non-On Demand circuits are attached to the hub.&#x20;
