Statuses

Every record that moves through a process shows where it is with a status: a coloured tag beside its number, a column in a list, or a tab you can filter by. This page lists them all in one place, grouped by the kind of record. Each table says what the status means and what comes next.

The labels here are the ones on screen. For the full story of each process, follow the link under each heading.

Orders​

See Order statuses for colours and the Order Flow bar.

Signs that aren't statuses. A red Order blocked banner means an open pick exception is holding the order. Rush and High tags are the order's priority.

Order lines​

A line has no status of its own. Its Fulfillment column says who ships it and, for supply-partner-direct parts, whether that part has gone. See Direct ship and split fulfillment.
