HTML limitations

Extremely large orders might take longer to load due to the limitations of HTML.

The view screens (for example, the Order Detail and Shipment Detail screens) present the order or shipment entity and related records in their entirety. The HTML page for large orders or shipments can be very large and could take a long time to display especially over a wide area network. For example, the view screen for a 200 line order could be up to 500KB. Displaying this screen over a 128kbps line could take 30 seconds or more.

If your enterprise regularly process large orders, you may want to consider the following:

• As we mentioned above, consider customizing the screens to only return the data needed, implementing HTML/HTTP compression, using output templates to reduce the size of the output, and so forth.
