A Default Order Number and Default Order Number Expiry Date can now be stored behind the balances tab in Customer Maintenance. Additionally within Invoice Configuration > ‘National Customer Min Order Num Length’ a minimum order number length (between 0-18) can be configured to apply to National Customers.
The Default Order Number & Default Order Number Expiry Date will have the following behaviour within the system:
- When processing within Invoice Entry the Default Order Number will be loaded from the Ship To Customer.If the ‘Invoice Order No’ does not match on completion (or manual modification), the user will be warned and asked to confirm in order to continue.
- Users will be unable to complete an Invoice (including Electronic Orders) for National Customers if the length of the Invoice Order No is less than the ‘National Customer Min Ord Num Length’ as set in Invoice Configuration.
- If the Order No is loaded from an Electronic Order, and it does not match Customers ‘Default Order No.’, then it will act as if the user has already confirmed this difference. Auto Processed Electronic Orders will load the Default Order Number in if one is not supplied.
- Both the ‘Default Order No’ and ‘Default Order No Expiry Date ‘fields have been added to:
- The Customer Table within Report Generator
- The Export/Import Utility
