Beskrivelse
When an order originates from a webshop or external system, it passes through multiple documents in Business Central — sales orders, invoices, delivery notes, drop shipment purchase orders and more. In standard Business Central there is no single reference that ties all of these documents together, making it time-consuming to find everything related to a specific external order.
Global Order No. solves this by attaching a universal order number to all documents and entries generated from the same original order. The number flows through the full document chain — including drop shipment purchase orders and item ledger entries — giving you a consistent reference point across the entire lifecycle of the order. Whether you are looking at a posted invoice, a shipment or an item ledger entry, the global order number is always there.
This makes reporting straightforward and the day-to-day user experience significantly more efficient. Finding everything related to a webshop order is a matter of seconds rather than a manual search across multiple documents.
