Order Number "Roll" Instructions

The following outlines what requires consideration when the order number is going to roll over from 99999 back to 00001.

  • Should I change my order prefix or just let it roll?

    It is recommended that the order prefix be changed to a character greater than the current prefix:

    1. To ensure chronological display of orders.
    2. Proper back order release logic.
    3. Ensure integrity of Order Bookings File.

  • When do I change the prefix?

    It is recommended that the prefix be changed at a logical point in time such as, end of day, when the invoicing cycle is complete.

  • Are there any programming changes required?

    Yes, please advise the Tecsys SMB Support department at smbsupport@tecsys.com when you are planning a prefix change. They will need to know what the old and new prefixes are to make the necessary changes to your system.

    Note: If the numbers are allowed to roll then be aware that the new orders will be considered for backorder release first by OE61 and the newer orders will appear out of chronological sequence in displays.
