In OTM, transactions objects like Order Release, Shipment, etc have ‘Status’ button on the header screen that will have values to give information about current status of that object in the transaction life cycle.

For example, if you want to track the tender status of a shipment, you can review shipment status ‘SECURE RESOURCES’ and it’s values at each stage in the tender life cycle to track the progress. When shipment is originally created, it might have status like ‘SECURE RESOURCES_NOT STARTED’. Once we tender it to carrier, this status changes to ‘SECURE RESOURCES_TENDERED’. Once carrier accepts tender, status changes to ‘SECURE RESOURCES_ACCEPTED’ and so on. So these status values give good information to the user on what are next actions to be taken on that transaction.
