    Order Numbers

    Hi ya

    My client uses the ordernumber generated in an offline database to cross reference orders / purchasing and support.

    Is the order number generated by Actinic or by the PSP (Protx) ??

    If it is generated by Actinc can I control the format it takes??

    Cheers

    The order number is generated by Actinic but I don't think that other than changing the 'next' number suffix you can control the format of it.

      The order number is generated by OrderScript.pl. There is the code fragment
      Code:
      	$::s_sOrderNumber = $sInitials . $sPostCode . substr($$::g_pSetupBlob{CGI_ID}, -1) .
      		substr("0000000" . $nCounter, -7);
      which assembles the final number. You can alter this line if you have some perl knowledge. But you must be very carefull here (and note that Actinic doesn't support any script customisation).

      I hope this helps.

          bumping up the order numbers

          I'm quite happy with the order reference format, but as I'm just starting out I would prefer not to give away to my customers that they are the first few by giving them order numbers of 000001, 000002 etc...

          Is it possible to manually increase the variable "$nCounter" to a more respectable level?
