At an exchange with independent books, it was viewed as wasteful (cpu-wise) to require a check of all books to enforce ClOrdID uniqueness.

For the case of a resent order PossDupe or PossResend should be set, so the order could be ignored if already present in the book.

For the case of an erroneously resent order (without PossDupe or PossResend), you could safely check the same book (since the symbol would be the same) and detect duplicate without the overhead of checking all books.
