Checking for duplicate freight bill numbers

When a freight bill number is created in Opter, a check that the same number is not already in use for another order can be performed.

The following can be checked:

• freight bill number
• sender reference
• receiver reference.

All these fields are also searchable in order reception and order check. An ID number can be checked as follows:

1. Click on Shortcuts > Order settings in order reception.

2. Select the checkboxes for the fields in which a search for duplicates is to be performed:

   • Freight bill number order search
   • Sender reference order search
   • Receiver reference order search
3. In order reception, enter a number in the field that is to be searched for duplicates (Freight bill, Sender's ref. or Receiver's ref in the Data box) and press Enter. If Opter finds a duplicate, the search window on the left flashes red, and the order with the same number or reference is shown in the search results.

The order can be saved even if the number is a duplicate.
