API not auto generating order number

[ckootg]

I'm doing the following to create an order. NewOrder() returns an order but the order number is not set. Is there a manager I need to use to generate the order number?

Code: Select all

OrderCreationSpec spec = new OrderCreationSpec();
IOrder order = os.NewOrder(spec);

Yes. You need to use the IOrderNumberingManager.

Not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but the only property/method that gave me a generated order number was IOrderNumberingGroup.BasePreview. This is the code I'm using, which I find quirky. Why doesn't GetNextNumber return the generated number?

Code: Select all

SelectServer sps = GetSelectServer();
IOrderNumberingManager onm = _selectServer.GetService<IOrderNumberingManager>();
IOrderNumberingGroup ong = onm.OrderNumberingGroups.FirstOrDefault(g => g.Enabled);
ong.GetNextNumber(null, null);
string orderNumber = ong.BasePreview;
