Use the Order Status Report to print a list of individual orders and their statuses. The report includes all preproduction or production orders that match a certain criteria. Criteria can be based on all statuses, a single status, or a predefined filter. In addition, the report can also be limited to a certain due date and/or a certain vendor. Once the criteria has been selected, you can choose how the orders should be sorted, by order number, due date, or client name.

The report includes the order number, due date, status, vendor, and client name for each order. The report also tells the total value, taken from the invoice totals, of the orders in each status. This information can be very helpful in determining cash flow projections. For example, you may have $2,592 worth of orders sitting on your shelf waiting for clients to come in and pick up.
