Preparing Orders for Dispatch
Orders start in the New status. At this stage, you can choose whether to create an invoice and wait for payment or release the order immediately for dispatch.
Creating an invoice without releasing the order will put it into the Invoiced status. Once the invoice has been paid, the order will go into the Released status.
Selecting "Release for dispatch" will put the order straight into the Released status. You can create an invoice at any stage, but once the order is released it can be dispatched regardless of whether the invoice has been paid.
When an order is in the Released status, the items will appear in the Dispatch section for picking and fulfillment.
