Is the OrderID field (tag #37) used frequently in your allocations?

It could be, it sort of depends upon the nature of the trading activity (i.e. placing trades through an electronic trading system could result in a very large number of small orders). If orders were delivered manually, then only one entry in the Orders repeating group is required.

Our firm is currently specifying a single value.
