Customer Order Statuses

The CO statuses show the progress of one order through the sales process, from quotation through manufacturing until delivery.

Some statuses are assigned automatically by the software (for example if production starts, or finishes), some need to be assigned by the user, and some can be skipped.

Quotation - a request for a quotation is received, a Quotation should be created and sent to the customer. This stage is equivalent to a Sales Opportunity. Assigned manually.
Waiting for Confirmation - waiting for the customer's confirmation. Assigned manually.
Confirmed - the order is confirmed. Either booking needs to be made for products that are available in stock, or production should be planned. Assigned manually.
Waiting for Production - all Manufacturing Orders have been scheduled, and all goods are booked to the order. Assigned automatically.
In Production - the production operations have started. Assigned automatically.
Ready for Shipment - all products are in stock and can be shipped to the customer. Assigned automatically.
- A shipped CO still stays in the pipeline as Ready for shipment, when the booked quantity is bigger than needed.
Shipped - this status shows that all products have been shipped. Assigned automatically.
Delivered - this status confirms that CO is finished, products have been received by the customer. Assigned manually.
Canceled - order is canceled. Assigned manually. As a result, all bookings are released. A canceled CO cannot be restored.
