Enable Quotes and Order using Post install Script

Hi Bhavesh,

We can only enable the Quotes and Order settings either by point and click or by using Metadata APIs. See the below link -

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_quotessettings.htm
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_ordersettings.htm

We can use the above links info in apex class like below

HTTP h = new HTTP();
HTTPRequest req = new HTTPRequest();
req.setMethod('POST');
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
req.setHeader('SOAPAction', 'create');

String b = '';
b += '';
b += 'true';
b += '';
req.setBody(b);
req.setCompressed(false);
req.setEndpoint('https://na12-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/m/25.0');
HTTPResponse resp = h.send(req);

In apex, we can do only simple CRUD operations using Metadata APIs.

Yes it is possible.

HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint('https://ap2.salesforce.com/services/Soap/m/31.0');
request.setMethod('POST');
request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
request.setHeader('SOAPAction', 'update');
String b = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
b += '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">';
b += '<soapenv:Header>';
b += '<ns1:SessionHeader soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xmlns:ns1="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">';
b += '<ns1:sessionId>' + UserInfo.getSessionId() + '</ns1:sessionId>';
b += '</ns1:SessionHeader>';
b += '</soapenv:Header>';
b += '<soapenv:Body>';

b += '<update xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">';
b += '<UpdateMetadata>';
b += '<currentName>QuoteSettings</currentName>';

b += '<metadata xsi:type="ns2:QuoteSettings" xmlns:ns2="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">';

b += '<fullName>QuoteSettings</fullName>';
b += '<enableQuote>true</enableQuote>';

b += '</metadata>';
b += '</UpdateMetadata>';
b += '</update>';
b += '</soapenv:Body>';
b += '</soapenv:Envelope>';
request.setBody(b);
request.setCompressed(false);

//request.setHeader('Authorization', 'OAuth ' + SESSION_ID);

String body = (new Http()).send(request).getBody();
system.debug('Hello from body'+body);

The above code is to enable the quote in the Org. But we cannot get the SessionId in the post install script. Please see the link below :- https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.packagingGuide.meta/packagingGuide/apex_post_install_script.htm#apex_post_install_script

Yeah, in place of using the above code in the post install script as we do not get the session Id in the post install script, we can either make one tab in our app so that on the click of the tab the above code runs and the quote gets enabled or we can make one custom button on the object such that on the click of that button we can enable the quote using the above code.

Yeah, that may be same but i have not worked for order. I did for quote enabled.
