Hi,

When checking the database, I am seeing serial numbers getting assigned to declined or incomplete orders (by seeing order numbers next to the incomplete or declined serial number that was going to get assigned to the order). My understanding from the manual is that these get assigned when the order is completed. My concern with this is that you can use up serials on non-purchases.

Is there a way to have it work so only purchases that are approved get assigned a serial number so serial numbers are not used up on incomplete purchases?

Thanks!

Steve

One temp idea is to maybe have a button that "Releases" serials, meaning, an admin can press a button and it runs a query and reorders and clears out any abandoned serials that will not get assigned. The more permanent method is to pull a serial and add it back during a failed order.

Maybe this is all related to the problem of the exposed serial numbers at http://www.smith-consulting.com/forum... (which is more important of course).

I will try to test this out today and post back with my findings. Thanks for reporting the issue!
