Hello!

We use CS2002 + SP3 + FP1.

Acoording to Business Desk interfaces, possible values of order
status code are: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64 - and this list cannot be extended.

Does this mean that we cannot define more than 7 different order
statuses?

you can go upto 65536. I've used it beyond 64 without any issues.

Thank you for your answer!

But how to do this? I did not find the corresponding interfaces in
business desk. Do I need to add values to some table in a database manually?

Yep, the values you see are hardcoded in the BizDesk drop list.. so extend
the dropdown defintion by adding more values

That's great!

And one more question: can I use just 1,2,3,4,5,..., or it is
needed to use only 1,2,4,8,16,...?

recommend you use powers of 2 just to be on the safe side.

It looks like when some of the objects look for a status, they "add them up"
if they want more than one. If you request an order status of 5, you are
actually requesting any orders with a status of 1 or 4.

I'm not completely sure, but this is what the comments seem to indicate in
our code (which part was written by MSFT consulting), so it is at least a
place to start looking. :-)

Correct Susan, You can use the summed up totals in the search options also to
retrieve a list of only those orders matching the status codes. As an example
in one scenario we'd implemented a workflow on the site where multiple Id's
within the same organization would raise a requisition, which their manager
would approve, which would then go to the Purchase Officer who can then
confirm it as a new order. So if the Purchase Officer wants to see the list
of all pending requisitions within the organization then we used the order
search for (new req + approved req + disapproved req ) etc without having to
change much in the "retail" code.
