Adding Order Status Codes

You use order status codes to locate an order in the order process. An order status code identifies a name with a code for a specific area of the order process. For example, if a user ordered two CDs and two t-shirts eight weeks ago, you can view the order status codes for that order to track where it is in the order process. You have three default order status codes: 4 (New Order), 2 (Saved Order), and 1 (Basket). You might want to create new order status codes to help you track an individual order in the order process. For example, you might create an order status code to define unprocessed orders on your Web site.

Note

• After you add an order status code, your system administrator must unload the Commerce Server application from memory on each Web server for the change to take effect. For more information, see Unloading an Application from Memory.
