Copy a previous order to create a new order

You can create a new order from copying an existing order by pulling up a previous order from a customer's order list and then clicking on the copy order tab and checking the copy order box. There is an additional check box that can be clicked called copy order number if you are wanting to reference the previous order number on the new order.  The copy previous order number option is typically used when using the copy order function to create a back order as you will have the option of copying the shorted quantities in the case of a back order.  In that case the order being copied would have a line order quantity that would be greater than the shipped/invoice quantity creating a shorted order filling condition.  The next step is to scroll down to the line items on the order and click on the check boxes for the line items you want on the new order.  At that point you are prompted if you want to copy the shorted quantity or the order quantity from the order being copied.  You then click on the copy order button and the new order is created with the same order properties as the one that was copied.
