User cannot create a quote without Associated Merchant

Per requirements, I should be able to create a quote using only a Quote Name and a BA/BL combination. With the current build, it is required that I have an associated merchant as well. This is incorrect for a quote as I can use EITHER a Quote Name or Associated Merchant. If I were to submit this as an order, I would then need an associated merchant, not to save it as a quote.
