Re: Understanding of how you are storing data
What I don't understand is the approach you are taking for storing the relationships of orders to products... or products to Orders.... can you elaborate on that? is it rows in a list? data in a column? If data in a column - where? the Order list? the Product List?

- Using javascript/SPServices - create a new item. This returns to you the new order created.
-
Use the ID of the new item and redirect the URL to the Edit page.
