Order fulfillment: statuses

Statuses are the actual states that a document moves through in the pipeline.

About this task

A transaction can contain two types of statuses, a drop status and a pickup status. A document is moved into a drop status when the events and conditions of a transaction have been completed. A pickup status takes the document from the previous drop status and moves it through the next transaction. Created and Scheduled are examples of statuses.
