Order Creation
The Grasshopper integration creates and updates orders based on thePO Number field.
The PO Number field is used to store the CDS Order Number also known as the System #
If PO Number does not exist, then order is created in the Grasshopper site.
If PO Number already exists, then order is updated in the Grasshopper site.
Important
When new orders and order updates are sent to the integrated Grasshopper site, duplicates will be created if the CDS Order Number is not found in the PO Number field.
