Understanding Status Codes

You can use the Status Code Update program to manually advance the status codes for order lines that you select. The Status Code Update program enables you to manage steps in the order process that are unique to a specific company or order. For example, you can bypass credit approval for several order lines by processing them through the Status Code Update program (P42040).

You can also manually change the status code of a single line to the next status code. However, if an order or order line is on hold, you must first release the order. Advancing the status of a held order does not automatically release the order.
