OrderEntry.table_order_group
An issue is resolved in the table 'OrderEntry.table_order_group' where the field 'ORDERID' has a datatype of "Numeric" instead of "String", which could result in incorrect handling of non-numeric 'ORDERID' values in reports and queries, and makes it more difficult to use this field to JOIN to other tables where the 'ORDERID' field is correctly defined as datatype "String".
