Warning needed for duplicate PO numbers on sales orders

Question

Hi all,
We are using SBO 2005A SP: 01  PL: 19.
We need a warning when adding a marketing document (Sales Order) with duplicate reference number. Presently SBO has the functionality only works on AR invoice and AR credit note. We
need a solution to also make it work for Sales Orders. We are getting many duplicate orders from our customer and we are ending up shipping them the same order more than once.
So we thought of creating a formatted search and assign it on the reference field but I need a query to solve this.
Can any one help on this.

Hi Ram,
You could use an alert or an approval to prevent this happening.
An alert would be something like the following query:
select
     T0.DocNum,
     T0.CardCode,
     T0.CardName,
     T0.DocDate,
     T0.NumAtCard
from
     ORDR T0
where
     T0.NumAtCard is not null
     and T0.NumAtCard <> ''
     and T0.CANCELED = 'N'
     and (select count(T1.DocNum) from ORDR T1 where T1.CardCode = T0.CardCode and T1.NumAtCard = T0.NumAtCard and T1.CANCELED = 'N') >= 2
group by
     T0.DocNum, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName,
     T0.DocDate,T0.NumAtCard
order by
     T0.CardCode, T0.NumAtCard, T0.DocNum
Kind Regards,
Owen
