Statuses

Introduction

Some objects in Ongoing WMS have a status. The status is intended to give a quick summary of what stage of handling the object is in. For instance, an order may start off life as being Open, and when the warehouse has finished handling it, the order will have status Collected.

In this article we describe the standard statuses of Ongoing WMS. It is possible for each warehouse to customize the statuses. The IDs and names can be changed, and statuses can be added or deleted. This means that the statuses in your instance of Ongoing WMS might not match the standard statuses exactly.

The status of a finished order

A finished order will generally have status 450 or 500. It depends on the warehouse's workflow.

Differences between manually created orders and orders which were created by an integration

There are two ways an order can be created in Ongoing WMS:

  1. The order is created manually in Ongoing WMS,
  2. The order is sent to Ongoing WMS using an integration with an external system (such as a web shop).

Most warehouses will handle these orders differently.

If an order is created manually in Ongoing WMS, it will generally start off with status 200. The person who creates the order is responsible for pressing the button called Close order, which changes the status to 300. This signifies that they are finished with the order, and that the warehouse operators may start processing it.

If an order is sent to Ongoing WMS from an integration with an external system, the order will generally start off with status 200. In most cases there is no manual release process for this kind of order. The warehouse operators may immediately start working on the order, even though the order has status 200.
