Workflow for Order Management

The following figure illustrates a sample scenario for adding order status codes, country/region codes, and state/province codes, as well as customizing shipping methods and adding tax rates.

2. In the Location Codes module, you add country/region codes to be displayed on the Web site as a shipping option for users.
3. In the Location Codes module, you add state/province codes to be displayed on the Web site as a shipping option for users.
4. In the Shipping Methods module, you customize a shipping method available to users on your Web site.
5. In the Tax Rates module, you add tax rates.
