Ordered-By Customer

The customer who placed the order.  It is an optional field on the order header.  The goods will be sent to the Ship-to Customer, and the invoice will be sent to the Bill-to Customer.  On Reference File category 477, you can specify whether the Ordered-by Customer field will be validated.  If the field is validated, and data is entered in the field, that data must represent a customer that has already been defined in the system.  This field has no effect on system processing.
