Creating multiple Request Items based on number selected

[dave_m13]

Hi

I have a UI Action that creates an event, script action then calls a script include to add a Catalog item and fill in various variables then places the order to create 1 Request and 1 Request Item automatically. This is all fine and works as it should.

I'm struggling with the following - On the UI Action table there is a quantity field, if this quantity is say 5, I want it to create 5 RITMS for the same catalog item, same field data and variables. Ideally they would sit under the 1 Request, however it could be that we have 5 separate requests with 1 RITM under each, this is how it's done currently but manually using the order guide.

Has anyone done anything similar or have an hints how I may achieve this.

Thanks
Dave

It's Friday, I think I'm misunderstanding your solution.

I have a field with a number, based on that number I want to create that number of RITM's.

I assume i is my number?

50 is your number, and initialize i to 0...

Definitely a friday thing no idea why it wasn't working, it is now. Thanks for your help.

  var quantity = parseInt(rec.u_quantity,10);
         var i = 0;
         while (i < quantity) {
           
            var item = cart.addItem('07b8a581b0401100ce6b89bb520f5e10', 1);
            cart.setVariable(item, 'requested_for', rec.u_requested_for);
            cart.setVariable(item, 'u_required_date', rec.due_date);
            cart.setVariable(item, 'u_quantity', rec.u_quantity);
           i++;
}
  var rc = cart.placeOrder();
            gs.log("Request Logged " + rc.number);
         };
