• Order Number: An optional, free text field to enter a customer supplied order number.
• Sales Rep: The Sales Rep is the person who has made the sale, which may be a different person than who is entering the sales transaction. Choose from the list.
  Settings determine if the Sales Rep field automatically updates with the Sales Rep stored on the Customer Account, or is blank.
