How Adding These Columns to Production Report?
What's New?
The Production Report now includes two new columns to help you track supplier updates in real time:
Connected Status
Displays the live status returned by the supplier via PromoStandards.
The Production Report already includes a Stage and Status column, which reflects your internal commonsku workflow.
commonsku stages include:
-
Created
-
Submitted
-
Confirmed
-
Shipped
-
Ready for Billing
-
Closed
-
Billed
commonsku statuses includes:
- OK
- Follow Up
- Problem
Connected Status works alongside your internal Stage and Status to give you a complete picture of where the order stands. These statuses contain:

You can update commonsku status based on Connected Status.
If your Connected Status shows one of the following, you should follow up with the supplier. In these cases, your commonsku Status should typically be set to “Follow Up”:
-
General Hold
-
Credit Hold
-
Partial Shipment
-
Partially Shipped
-
Proof Hold
-
Art Hold
-
Canceled
These statuses usually indicate that the order requires attention, clarification, or confirmation before it can continue progressing smoothly.
Connected Status Changed
Shows the date and timestamp of when the supplier last updated their status.
This helps you quickly answer:
-
When did the supplier ship this order?
-
Was this recently updated?
Together, these two columns provide a clear, real-time view of supplier activity.

Connected Status Details
When you hover over a Connected Status cell, a tooltip appears.
If the supplier’s PromoStandards status is further along than your current commonsku Stage, the tooltip will recommend the appropriate Stage or Status update.
You can click the View Details button to see more information about a specific order.
Inside the details panel, you can:
-
View additional order information

Update your PO Status if needed
-
Review supplier-related updates
If you need to check for the most recent supplier update, click the Refresh button to re-query PromoStandards and pull the latest status in real time.
