# Yojee IDs Explained
## This article will help you to identify what each of the ID's are and how they are used in Yojee.
In Yojee there are many ID's which can be used to help manage your bookings and tracking of your freight. Whether it is used by your dispatchers, your network partners or your customers.
### Custom Reference Fields
#### **External Order ID**
- Think of this as the consignment number, grouping all of your items under one number.
- Can be relabelled by Yojee Support. This is what is shown in your Yojee Dispatcher List View eg; if you want it to say "Booking Number".
- It can also be relabelled inside the Order Template within Manage. This is shown to the user inside the booking detail when clicking into the eye or edit.
#### **External Item ID**
- Can become the tracking number if set by Yojee.
- Can be relabelled by Yojee Support. This is what is shown in your Yojee Dispatcher List View eg; if you want it to say "Tracking Number".
- It can also be relabelled inside the Order Template within Manage. This is shown to the user inside the booking detail when clicking into the eye or edit.
#### **External Item ID 2**
- Can be relabelled by Yojee Support. This is what is shown in your Yojee Dispatcher List View eg; if you want it to say "Tracking Number".
- It can also be relabelled inside the Order Template within Manage. This is shown to the user inside the booking detail when clicking into the eye or edit.
#### **External Item ID 3**
- Can be relabelled by Yojee Support. This is what is shown in your Yojee Dispatcher List view eg if you want it to say "Tracking Number".
- It can also be relabelled inside the Order Template within Manage. This is shown to the user inside the booking detail when clicking into the eye or edit.
#### **Container ID**

### **Yojee Auto-Generated IDs**
**Order ID** (Starts with O-)
- Think of this as the consignment number, grouping all of your items under one number.
- Can be used when you are not using the External Order ID and you are relying on a system generated number to track your goods.
**Item TN** (Starts with YOJ-)
- Think of this as the individual items on an booking/order/consignment.
- Eg: If I have one consignment with 5 items, each one will have a unique Item TN but all will have the same Order ID.
**Global item TN** (Starts with Y-)
- As above for Item TN but the difference here, it does not change when passed through to your network partners.
**Batch ID** (Starts with OG-)
- Is used for identifying a group of orders/consignments on a template.
- Eg: I create 20 orders on 1 batch upload template. All have different external order id's. The one thing that groups them together is the Batch ID.
- This ID is not available for orders created via API or the Email Parser.
