The status of the item shows which processing phase it is currently in. Depending on which Status an item has, you can assign a different (next) status. A configurator specifies which status can be changed to which new status in the administrative settings.
Example: Item status can be changed from status "Delivered" to status "Consumed", but not from status "Consumed" to status "Prepared".

1. Select the status that the items you want to see currently have. If all items have the same status, this is already preset.
2. Select the status you want to assign to the items. The logical order of the statuses is predefined so that often only one status can be selected.
3. Only items with the selected status can be edited. Depending on the settings, it is possible to change all items with this status together by clicking on  OK next to the selected status. Otherwise, tick off the items individually.
