Getting your order numbers to look right and match the formatting required by company policies is made easier in SellingPoint now due to custom order number masks. SellingPoint will generate a unique number which can be formatted in any way required, giving a professional appearance to all online orders.
With custom order numbers you can:
- Enter an order number mask which defines the format of the order number
- A order number mask can include alpha-numeric characters including symbols such as dashes
- Use the pound symbol (#) as a place holder for a randomly generated number, which length is determined by the order number digit length. This number can be a maximum of 9 digits long. For example, this mask set with a digit length of 9:
C###-###-###
could become this order number:
C161-515-260 - While SellingPoint checks that you will not have duplicate order numbers in the system, be sure to use longer order numbers that change often to ensure you do not run out of order numbers
