Order Status Question

[kens]

Hello-

I don't want my completed orders to show up by default on the order summery page. I changed the IsValid flag on the completed status to false, and that works.I just wanted to know if there was any reason I shouldn't keep it like that. I guess what I'm really asking is what the IsValid flag really does?

Thanks

Ken

Well IsValid option represents that order associated with this order status are not valid orders. I think this is to support order status filter on order manger screen. You can see that there are three sections in filter dropdownlist All, Valid and Invalid. So if you mark your completed order as IsValid=false this will list that order status in invalid order status section on filter. So as you know that although completed orders are getting listed under invalid orders but this only for display and in fact these are valid orders I don't think so there is any problem.
