Prevent accidental duplicate entry of Customer Ordersome

Prevent accidental duplicate entry of Customer Ordersome

Zoho Support has confirmed that Zoho currently does not have any method (using Deluge, flow or any other method) to alert a user when a sales order has been entered twice using the same customer reference number (i.e. a duplicate).

Most ERP platforms prevent this, or at least provide some alert that you already have a Sales Order with this customer reference, but Zoho does not appear to have thought of this.  Has anybody worked out a way of detecting a duplicate entry?  

Zoho - here's an idea - show a message box if the entered sales order customer reference number is the same as an existing order.  

Why is this beneficial?  Well, it prevents customers from making a mistake and entering a sales order from a customer twice, along with the associated shipping and return charges, or in some cases the items are make-to-order so you end up with a custom item that can not be sold to someone else!
