Steps

  1. Authenticate using a Zoho OAuth access token with ZohoCRM.modules.quotes.CREATE scope and the correct data center domain (e.g. accounts.zoho.eu for EU)
  2. Construct a JSON body for the Quotes module insert with top-level fields (Subject, Account_Name, etc.) and a 'Product_Details' key containing an array of subform objects, each with 'product', 'quantity', 'unit_price', and 'discount' fields
  3. POST to /crm/v8/Quotes with the JSON body and inspect the response 'data' array for per-record status; each entry includes 'code': 'SUCCESS' or an error code with details
  4. Retrieve the created quote via GET /crm/v8/Quotes/{id}?fields=Product_Details to verify subform line items were persisted correctly
  5. Handle the 'MANDATORY_NOT_FOUND' error code which fires when a required subform field (like 'product') is missing from any line item
