The meaning of automatic status
Sales orders have automatic statuses that are changed according to the product. Namely, the ''Partially shipped'' status means that the sales order was partially transferred to the delivery note. Once it is completely transferred, the order will receive the ''Shipped'' status. If the status is automatically set (see value in the table below), it cannot be manually set to this value. Hence, the sales order cannot receive the ''Closed'' status if it is yet to be transferred to the invoice, since the status will automatically change to the predicted value (i.e. Shipped).
Status | Label | Set automatically? | Meaning |
New | created | YES | A new order has been created |
Partially created | complete_part | YES | Partially created through work orders for the ordered products. |
Created | complete | YES | Completely created through work orders for the ordered products. |
Partially shipped | shipped_part | YES | Partially shipped via receiving note. |
Shipped | shipped | YES | Completely created via receiving note. |
Partially invoiced | invoiced_part | YES | Partially invoiced. |
Closed | invoiced | YES | Completely invoiced. |
Manually closed | manually_closed | NO | Manually closed. No matter the work in the sales order or other documents, the status will not be automatically changed. |
In case of having partially created/shipped/invoiced products, the status will be always set to the newest possible one. Example:
The sales order has several products, but only a portion of them has been created: Partially shipped status
The sales order has several products, but only a portion of them has been created, shipped, and invoiced: Partially invoiced status
List of open sales orders
In the sales orders list you may choose the option for displaying the open sales orders only. Those are all the orders that have/are:
no finish date added
no ''Manually closed'' status configured
- not completely invoiced. In this case, the sales order automatically receives the ''Closed'' status.
