There are two types of status for shipments:

Open: the shipment is ready and the label can be printed to be affixed to the parcel; 

Printed: the label has been successfully generated. As soon as this status is reached, it is no longer possible to change  it manually. The status will be updated by the logistic flow status; 

On hold: if the label has not yet been generated, it is possible to put orders on hold (e.g. stock outages); 

Cancelled: if the label has not yet been generated, the shipment is cancelled (e.g. failure to pay). 

2. The second column indicates the status of parcels in logistic flow
