Create a shopping cart with reference

[Raju Omkaram]

Jocelyn,

Good news. I was able to copy an old cart with selected line items as
a new cart. Upon copy, I am running a FM  (workflow status Change) and
created a follow on document as well.

While saving the new cart, I am paasing old cart's workflow instance
id, therefore. I am able to see approval preview for the new one
except I do not see the apporvers. I used Adhoc agents.

Thanks for answering all my questions.

Raju
