This field is used to designate the order that the customer's standard order items are loaded into the items grid, when invoicing in the standard order edit mode.

 

•Up to 3 characters may be used for the sequence number with any combination of letters or numbers.

 

•Special characters, such as dashes and commas should not be used when defining a sequence number.

 

•NECS recommends using all 3 characters when defining the sequence number.

 

•Sequence numbers do not have to have a 1 to 1 relationship. This means a single sequence number could be assigned to multiple items in essence providing a custom means of grouping items.

 

•The Price List, Customer Special Price, and Customer Order Forms reports can all be sorted and/or grouped by item sequence number.

 

 

Some restaurant chains may have their own in-house ordering sheets with the products they use in a specific sequence. By using sequence numbers the item grid of invoicing will match the customers sequence, enabling the order entry staff to quickly enter the customers order.
