Re: Order Number Field Size

["naomiruben" <naomiruben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with the other two people who answer NOT TO EVEN think about such a
mod.

However, you could use the document prefix, if you are not using it yet.  It
is a logical field so you could use it as an extra 2 positions in the order
number.

Possible?
