When to use orders

Orders are usually only used when automatically generating documents. (also see: Automatically generating documents).
The advantage here, is that you only have to fill in or import one order, and automatically can generate all the necessary documents for that order (CMR, DGD, ADR, ...).

Variable fields

You can edit the CMR-JET order structure by adding or removing order fields. This way, you can synchronize the CMR-JET order structure with the order structure of your own application.
