In OTM, transaction objects like Order Release and Shipment have a ‘Status’ button on the header screen that shows values describing the current state of that object in the transaction lifecycle.

For example, if you want to track the tender status of a shipment, you can review shipment status ‘SECURE RESOURCES’ and its values at each stage in the tender lifecycle. When a shipment is originally created, it might have a status like ‘SECURE RESOURCES_NOT STARTED’. Once tendered to a carrier, this status changes to ‘SECURE RESOURCES_TENDERED’. Once the carrier accepts the tender, the status changes to ‘SECURE RESOURCES_ACCEPTED’, and so on. These status values give users clear information about what actions are required next.
