Overview
The Sale Order tool (904_frm_Sale_Order_Renumber) in Auction Flex lets you define the order in which lots are sold without changing their assigned lot numbers. This allows for more flexibility when lots are pre-tagged but need to be reorganized prior to the auction.
Why Use Sale Order?
Customizes the selling sequence independent of lot numbers.
The clerking grid automatically follows your new sale order.
The printed catalog can be sorted using sale order instead of lot number.
Saves time by avoiding renumbering if tagging was already completed.
How to Set a Sale Order
Step 1: Open the Sale Order Tool
Go to the Easy Navigator or Auction Lots & Preview screen.
Click Sale Order.
Step 2: Choose How to Sort
You'll be presented with multiple options:
Option | Description |
Assign Sequentially | Set sale order starting at a specific number and incrementing by 1. |
Same as Lot Number | Matches sale order directly to existing lot numbers. |
Custom Entry | Manually assign each sale order value to a lot. |
Step 3: Apply Sale Order
Once the order is configured:
Click Apply/Save to commit the order.
Confirm whether you want to renumber lots to match the sale order (optional).
Step 4: Review and Print
Go to your Clerking Grid — it will now follow the new sale order.
Your printed catalog can be generated based on this sale order as well.
🖨 In the Print Options screen, select Sort by Sale Order to reflect your custom sequence in the catalog.
