Order agents and fulfillment agents can create order header tasks manually when a task is needed that is not automatically generated by the Customer Order Task Policy. The order number is automatically populated when a task is created from the Order Header Tasks tab and cannot be changed.

Order header tasks remain open until explicitly closed. The order is not marked as completed until all associated order header tasks are closed.
