• What are the automatic order status changes?
  • Awaiting Deposit: The order status will automatically read ‘Awaiting Deposit’ when you close on a job and do not collect a deposit, and/or if your deposit amount is less than your required deposit.
  • Deposit Received: The order status will automatically read ‘Deposit Received’ once you have received equal to, or more than, your required deposit amount.
    • Hint: The Deposit Received status is a great way to flag that a job is ready to be ordered!
  • Ordered: The order status will automatically read ‘Ordered’ if you generate a PO for that order. However, if you do not wish to complete a PO, you can manually change the Order status to Ordered.
  • Installation Scheduled: The order status will automatically read ‘Installation Scheduled’ when you schedule the installation via the calendar/appointment type method.

A MyBlindCo Team Tip: When the installation is complete, and the order is paid in full, it is recommended to change the order status to Installed. Do not change the status to Complete, because this removes the order from the Orders tab entirely. Only change the status to Complete once the job has been entered into Quickbooks or your other accounting system.
