Complete Pending Orders for Sub-Accounts
Resellers can process offline orders on behalf of their sub-customers. Resellers can assign pending orders to sub-customers, and they can also process a pending order without assigning the pending order to a sub-customer.
Assign a Device to a Sub-Customer Account
This workflow enables Resellers to process pending orders by assigning the draft devices to sub-customers.

Complete the Device Configuration Without Assigning to a Sub-Customer Account
Resellers are allowed to process pending orders to their own reseller account. The draft devices get created as pending orders in the reseller’s Virtual Device inventory as part of manual ordering process. This provides full control to the reseller to make assignments to sub-customer accounts.
