You can quickly duplicate any selected Order by clicking on the Duplicate Order under Tools menu (click the Tools button to open the Tools menu). This is a great feature if you need to constantly enter Orders that are the same or similar to other Orders. When you click the Duplicate Orders button on a selected Order, a Duplicate mini form with two options will pop up.
•Use the latest prices, discounts and taxes. - Discounts, prices and taxes set from the Inventory Item form will be used.
•Copy the prices, discounts and taxes from the original. - Discounts, prices and taxes from the selected order will be copied.
A message box will open asking if you want to duplicate the selected transaction right after OK button from the mini form was clicked. If you choose to duplicate it, a new Order will be created based on the current Order selected. After the add Order has successfully been duplicate another message box will appear displaying the Order Number assigned to it. You will then be asked if you want to view the add Order. If you choose 'Yes' you will be moved to the add Order.
Everything in the add Order will be duplicated except for the Date field, which will be entered with today's date and the Order Number field, which will be incremented with the next Order Number from the Starting Numbers form.
Duplicating Orders have no affect on anything at all in the program. You can duplicate an Order and then delete it and it would be like you never duplicated it to begin with.
