Fields: Updating order information

Ordering information includes basic details about the ordering process, such as the Acquisition Type, Order Number, and Subscription Period information. After ordering information has been completed for a resource, some of the fields (such as Acquisition Type and Purchasing Site) can be used to search for that resource on the Home page.
