Understanding an Order's Status

In the normal workflow for an additional order, a DC or NPC generates the order, then reviews and submits it for approval. Next, a state-level administrator reviews the order, approving or modifying it as appropriate. If approved, TIDE sends the order to the vendor, who prints and ships the order. (This is a typical scenario; some school districts have different workflows for order processing.) Figure 16 illustrates the progression of an initial order and the associated status code. TIDE tracks the order through each stage, and assigns a status code accordingly.

Figure 16: Stages of an Order and Associated Status Code

On the Order History page (the section Viewing Order History) TIDE displays an order's status depending on its most recent activity. Table 31 describes those statuses. (Your version of TIDE may not include all of these statuses.)
