It would be nice to have this status for payments that have been sent, but not
yet received (ie. Money Order, PayPal eCheck, etc.).

The intent is to prevent order additions to an order once payment is initiated
by the buyer as well as correctly define the current status of the order.

In essence it would work the same as the "packed" or "paid" status, but with
a new, more appropriate, and descriptive name.

Thanks!
Jonathan

There's a payment status for "clearing".

This doesn't block additional batches?

Good question, anyone know if this blocks additions?

Hi,
only order status triggers how additions are handled by the system.
Payment status does not trigger anything.

I know about that function, but if used it would still leave a problem with having
to mark an order as "packed" when not really packed to prevent additions once
payment is initiated. I can see how the separate status boxes can help, but
at the same time it defeats the purpose of using the correct status for where
the order is in the placing/filling/packing/shipping process.

Now, if a payment status (when separate) of something other than "none" blocked
additions it would work as needed. Anyone know if this is the case?

I agree with most of your conclusions in this matter. I do not know if 'clearing'
payment status blocks order additions or not because I always set the order status
to 'packed' if payment status is 'clearing'. When I do my filtering to see which
orders actually need shipping, I filter both 'payment status: received' and 'order
status: packed' and then any 'clearing' ones don't show up falsely in the list.
I think this method covers your issues, but it does take monitoring an additional
status.
