Transaction Types
From the first record stage, orders can be changed into the following status options.

- Confirmed
- Approved

Order status changes are applied per line. Line status information changes the slip status. When an order is recorded for the first time, the status of all line will be “draft” as default. Therefore, the status of the slip will also be draft. Slip statuses depending on line status are:

When the status of an approved order is changed to draft by the user, warehouse total and AR/AP updates are undone.
When the status of an approved order is changed to confirmed by the user, warehouse total and AR/AP updates are undone.
When an order transaction is transferred into a dispatch or invoice, the status of the order transaction changes to “Shipping” if the transferred amount total is less than the order transaction amount.
In order to change the status of an approved order to closed, the whole order should be shipped, or the status change must be selected as closed by the user.
When an order transaction is transferred into a dispatch or invoice, the status of the order transaction changes to “Closed” if the transferred amount total is less than or equal to the order transaction amount.

Scope of Transaction for Status Changes
Status changes can be applied to the order slip bottom or to slip lines. The selection is made on the Scope of Transaction field of the status change window.
If all lines are selected, the status change is applied to the whole order slip.
User selected lines are used to change the status of certain lines on the slip. Order lines of which the status will be changed are specified using filters.
Status change filter options are:
Filter | Value |
Type | Material / Service / Material Set / Asset / Material Class |
Material / Service Code | Group / Range |
Material / Service Description | Group / Range |
Delivery Date | Start / End |
Warehouse | Group |
Once required conditions are specified on filter lines, the OK button is clicked, and the order transactions matching the conditions are listed. Transactions for which the status change will be applied are selected, and the status change is completed by clicking the OK button.
