Web sales and their default source

Our marketing folks want to go out with a pre-sale open to the public on our first show of next season, which is obviously in a different fiscal year than what we're selling now. We use different source codes (based on season/FY) for the relevant entry in T_DEFAULTS, and as far as I know there is not a way in Tess to send different sources to the API to send back in an order.

Assuming that's correct, the harebrained scheme I'm thinking of involves changing the web source in T_DEFAULTS to that which we'll use for FY11, and run an Update statement on the orders containing the remaining FY10 perfs which changes the number in T_ORDER.source_no to reflect the older web source (making it the correct one relevant to the season.

My question is, are there any ramifications to changing source_no? Does that element get populated to anything else that would throw a firecracker into financial reporting or the like?

Thanks to all.
