- You have the option of manually changing the delivery status for an order if the current status is RED (= REJECTED).
To do so, tick the relevant order and click the Change Status button.

DISMISSED: The status DISMISSED serves to leave the status traffic lights of an order on Red whilst providing the order with a comment (e.g.”Resend tomorrow"), be it as a reminder or by way of information for you and other platform participants. The status remains changeable.
AUTHORIZED: This status should be selected if the order has been transmitted in another way (e.g. by telephone). Leave a comment, e.g. "Resolved by phone." The order is taken into consideration in the statistics. The traffic lights will now change to Green and the status is no longer changeable.
CLOSED: If an order run with an error has for some reason lapsed and no longer requires any forwarding, it can be given the status CLOSED. The traffic light changes to Green (the status is no longer changeable) but the order is not included in the statistics.
Then confirm by clicking Change Status.
