About Order Number Rules
Order Numbers are required to correctly purchase standard plates and component from suppliers. Usually, the order number string is defined for each selected component or plate instance, however for some component types it is required to setup a set of rules to create the correct order number string.
These rules can be managed in the tab > 
Options >
Options > The rule can be defined based on five different variables:
1. File Name — A rule can be assigned to a specific template file name. The * symbol can be used as a place holder. For example, A rule plate_4* will be applied to all template files with the string plate_4 on the left hand side.
2. Type — A rule can be assigned to a specific component type, for example P, F50 and so on. This type is usually the supplier product name. If the symbol * is used in this row, then the rule will be applied to all component types.
3. Supplier — A rule can be assigned to specific supplier categories, for example meusburger, dme, hasco and so on. If the symbol * is used in this row, then the rule will be applied to all suppliers.
4. Side — A rule can be defined for a mold base side, for example FH or fixed half, or MH or moving half. If the symbol * is used in this row, then the rule is used for both sides.
5. Unit — A rule can be assigned to inch or mm. If the symbol * is used in this row, then the rule will be applied to both units.
The rule string needs to be defined in the row Order Number Rule. This string can contain the following placeholders, which will later be replaced by the software to finally retrieve the correct order number:
• <width>
— plate width (plates only)
• <length>
— plate length (plates only)
• <thickness>
— plate thickness (plates only)
• <rail_width>
— plate rail width (rail plates only)
• <main_width>
— mold base definition width (plates only)
• <main_length>
— mold base definition length (plates only)
• <typ>
— component type string
• <mat>
— component material string
• <ordernumber>
— actual order number string for the selected instance.
• <insert_cut_depth>
— depth of the cavity insert cut
