Visual Order Status Indicators

Visual Order Status Indicator



The status indicators allow users to get an overall picture of where orders are in the sales and purchase cycles. The color and fill of these indicators give the information needed without having to dive into each individual order. The status indicators are located in the list view of the Sales Orders and Purchase Orders and consist of two columns:

              Sales Order                                                                                             Purchase Order
  1. Shipping status                                                                              • Receiving Status
  2. Invoicing status                                                                             • Billing Status
