Use the Foreign Order Number dialog to generate a MoversSuite reference to an externally created order such as those generated through a van line. After entering the necessary reference order number and pressing OK, an Order Information screen comes up in edit mode; only the Order Number and Branch are set and the Order Status defaults to “Booked.”
Access this dialog through the following options:
Go To > Move Management > New Foreign Order
Order Information > New > Foreign Order
Figure 21: Foreign Order Number screen
Refer to Change a MoversSuite Order Number or Branch topic for information on changing the foreign order number.
