Customer receives Order guide 404 error from CSM

The OOTB behavior for CSM is that when a customer raises a  request via a Order guide they receive a 404 error as the result of submitting the request is they are directed to sc_request, but as customers do not have the rights to view these they receive the  error.   Servicenow have confirmed this is expected behavior.

I don't want to give the customer access to sc_request as i want to ensure they are always working with the case.  The case has been created in the ground. 

So i'm looking for ideas on how to overcome this. One suggestion i have been given is page route maps,  has anyone done this and if so can you share your solution please.

 we ended up working around the issue as we did not want to expose sc_request.  You may want to look at the different submit options as that makes a difference as to what page people are routed , or as above a routing page.

Hi @Richard48 
When an external user is requested a catalog items through csm portal, The request is submitted and a CASE created and it is shown for end user , But when it comes to order guide is requested through csm portal A case and request is created in back end , In the external user perspective it showing the 404- ERROR. I want the case number functionality like when a catalog item is submitted to the order guide.
Can you help me out to get the case number when a order guide is submitted through csm portal!!!
