Inventory order statuses show where an order is in the inventory process—Open, Placed, or Received. Use the status to track whether an order is being created, has been placed with the company, or has been received, indicating that quantities have been added to your inventory.
Steps & Statuses:
Open
After selecting the new order button
to create an order and saving it, the order appears in bold on the main Inventory Orders screen with an Open status and a flag indicator
. Items may be added or removed, quantities adjusted, and discounts or shipping charges applied while the order remains in this status.
Placed 
Open orders are to be marked as Placed once submitted to the company to indicate that you are awaiting the shipment. The order can no longer be adjusted. If items need to be removed or substituted (indicated by the packing slip) it can be done during the final step when updating the order status to Received.
Received 
Individual items cannot be added or removed except for substitutions and out-of-stock items. Order totals, dates, and descriptions can be changed. To adjust individual items, see Edit Inventory Quantity or Individual Wholesale Value.
Note: Only orders with a Received status will be included in the Inventory Purchases Report for tax purposes.
