Both Global‑e and brand platform order numbers referenced on both sides

OMS/ERP Order flow: suppression of current activities on fraud, auth/capture, emails

Shipping documentation (carrier label and invoice) when provided by Global‑e entails:

→ No actual end customer address is required by the Warehouse team and systems

→ Order number documentation allows retrieving from Portal or API
