HOW TO ASSIGN A RECEIPT ORDER NUMBER

Order Numbers on printed and emailed receipts can be confusing when using more than one register at a single location. This is because the order numbers automatically default to a numerical value that is sequential, starting at 1, and will increase with each new order generated. These numerical values will be reset whenever a batch is closed and a new batch is opened for a register. To help prevent there from being multiple orders with the same order number you can assign a prefix number to the order numbers. The prefix is a two digit number that is added to the beginning of the order number and will be unique to each register. By setting the prefix for each register differently you will then be able to easily distinguish between orders that are placed from multiple registers.

On the Printers screen, click the Order Number Series text box, on the Receipt Order Number section, and then enter a unique one or two digit number that you wish to become the prefix to the Order Number. To the right of the Order Number Series text box there is a Order Number Preview box. This display an example of what the Receipt Order Number will look like on a printed or emailed receipt when an order is generated. Click the Save Button (represented by a Check Mark) at the top right of the screen.

Order Number Series functionality is only available in versions 6.16 or newer of the POS application.
