In SAP Business One, what is the purpose of the Order Number field in the Accounting tab of purchase

[sadra]

Hi everyone,

In SAP B1, on purchase forms like Purchase Quotation and Purchase Order, there is a field called Order Number in the Accounting tab.

I would like to know:

1. How is this field populated?
2. Does it have any impact elsewhere in the system?
3. Is it possible to generate reports using this field?

Order Number

Specify the order number of the chain when you use the direct distribution method.

This number is recorded in the file that you send to the head office of the chain store.

You can also check SAP Note 857666 regarding the same as well.
