Some of the individual positions within the table contain multiple entries
Multiple entries make it difficult to track the information between columns

How much room do you allow for these multiple entries?
What if an order has more order lines than you have allowed for?
Given a part, how do you determine which orders contain order lines for that part?

No multiple entries
Does not matter how many order lines exist for any order
Finding all the orders that contain order lines for a given part is easy
