🔧 What It Does

With Order Status Customization, you can:

• Rename any manufacturing status in your pipeline
• Reflect your real production flow with labels like:
  • “Pre-Production Setup”
  • “Material in Stock”
  • “Machining in Progress”
  • “Bending & Finishing”
  • “Inspection & QA”
  • “Ready for Dispatch”
• Improve internal clarity in:
  • Order tracking
  • Job scheduling
  • Manufacturing estimating
  • Request-for-quote (RFQ) workflows
• Apply changes across your:
  • Order Management Panel
  • Line Item View
  • Kanban board
  • Packing list and production traveler documents

This creates a seamless link between your digital tools and your real-life manufacturing workflow.
