How do I generate an order number?

For pick orders, receive orders, transfer orders, and work orders, you have an order number upon created the order. You may create your own order number and enter it in the order number field of the order you’re created. Or, you can leave it blank. If you leave it blank, your system will generate an order number for you.

In either case, the system automatically adds a “-1” at the end of the order number. This signifies back orders. The “-1” means it is not a back order. If the order is a back order (that is, if the order is part of an unfulfilled previous order), a “-2” will be at the end of the order number. A “-3” means it’s the second back order, and so on.

Tip!

You can use the order numbers you already have from a different application you’re using. You can also import these order numbers along with any order imports.
