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:
-
In Storage
-
Order Received
-
General Hold - Something is preventing the order from being entered
-
Credit Hold - The supplier is awaiting payment from the customer
-
Partial Shipment
-
Proof Hold - the supplier is awaiting response to proof
-
Complete
-
Order Confirmed
-
Pre-Production
-
In Production
-
In Storage
-
Partially Shipped
-
Shipped
-
Canceled
-
Art Hold - The supplier is awaiting suitable artwork from the customer
-
Complete
-
Back Order Hold - Order or line item has been backordered; Nothing has shipped yet
-
Order Entry Hold - Supplier has a problem with the data in the purchase order, and it is preventing the order from being entered
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.
