I want to split CPQ Quotes by effective start date. This Trailhead unit's hands-on challenge (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/salesforce-cpq-order-generation/automatically-split-a-quote-into-multiple-orders) is based on this very scenario. But when I follow the instructions and test with a Quote where the quote lines have four unique effective start dates, Salesforce only generates one Order containing all quote lines.
Multiple Orders are enabled in my CPQ Configuration.
What am I missing?

Thank you Andreea, Jayson. I have CPQ+ in my sandbox, but there's a wrinkle I wasn't aware of. My typical product bundles include component product options with time dimensions (MDQ), and it's these components that have unique effective start dates. So I ordered the quote expecting Salesforce to generate one order per effective start date in the product bundle. But according to this help article (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=cpq_split_orders.htm&type=5), "component product options can't be ordered separately from their bundle parent." So that explains why I was only getting one Order.
