Feature request - Need smarter order status/type assignment
Reported by dleffler | April 18th, 2013 @ 12:38 PM
We blindly assign the order status to default, but it would be different for items NOT requiring shipping (events, donations, digital purchases). Also, if the payment is already processed through a service like paypal, the 'paid' status is different from a 'unpaid' status.
In some cases we assume that order status #1 is the default.

- Title changed from “Feature request - Need smarter order status assignment” to “Feature request - Need smarter order status/type assignment”
And the order_type may need to act differently depending on whether or not there is actual merchandise involved.
All-in-all, the order status/type should somehow show the 'admin' what action is needed or had already been taken?

As of a recent push we no longer assume order_status_id of 1 means open order and now use the 'is_default' order status as the 'new' flag.
However all new orders are treated the same and set to default order status (submitted, processing, shipped, complete, cancelled).
The default order type is also assigned to each new order and determines some actions such as creating a new user account, emailing the customer and affecting inventory)

FWIW - Order Type & Order Status are set during the initial order checkout 'preprocess' and thereafter only changed manually
Order Status is for human usage - visual indicator
- settings to determine which is the 'initial/default' status and 'final/closed' status
Order Type is a set of flags on how to process order
- settings for whether to email customer, and affecting inventory, and create new user (never used except pass-thru billing controller)

For order_status we might want to create a 'payment complete' flag and auto-set it if billing calculator posts a payment complete
For order_type, need to understand why we'd want more than one type. In a general sense it really only applies to inventory adjustments (done when created) or emailing customer.
