Hi: Is it possible for me to assign an order number to an order before I
say basket.saveasorder()? Please assist

In my experience, it'd get overwritten

The way we've done it is to do a baset.SaveAsOrder.. assign this to the
newly formed PO... do a PO.item("purchase_order_no") = what you want and
follow it up with a PO.Save

We have created a new field called "order number" and it becomes a standard
property that doesn't get overwritten.

I'd have to look at the code but if you need more help...

With Commerce Server 2007, you can use the TrackingNumber property for this purpose. If you set it on the Basket before a SaveAsOrder call, it is copied over to the PO. If not set then a new trackingNumber is
assigned to the PO.

From the CS 2007 docs:

This value is a string to allow use of non-numeric, unique tracking numbers assigned by a shipping company to be applied to an order. It is present in the Basket, OrderTemplate, and PurchaseOrder classes so
that it can be set as part of pre-checkout processing of a basket if a tracking number is known prior to conversion of a basket to a placed purchase order. This property value defaults to null at creation of a
basket or order template; if it is still null when a basket is converted to a purchase order (using SaveAsOrder), a new, unique 64-bit integer value will be generated, converted to a string, and placed in this
property, so that the uniqueness characteristics of this field are upheld when saving the purchase order.
