You can access the Order Status setting in the Control Panel to manage the list of order statuses used to track the status of products ordered for projects.

To access the Order Status setting, click the following icon.

This will open the following form.

By default, SI has three order statuses: Not Ordered, Ordered, and In Stock/Received. You can edit these and add new statuses.

To add a new order status:

1/ Click New.

2/ Add a name for the status.

3/ In the dropdowns at the bottom of the form, select which status should be assigned to items when they are added to projects, added to purchase orders, and when they are received.

These settings apply to QuickBooks purchase orders, too.

4/ Click Save.

Once a product is added to a project, the Order Status field and additional "order" fields become available.

You can manually set the items' status within the Project Editor, or they will be automatically populated based on the statuses you have set in the Order Status setting dropdowns.
