What does the Picked/Packed/Shipped Status sales preference control?

The Picked/Packed/Shipped Status sales preference is crucial in determining how fields related to the fulfillment process are presented and utilized within the system. By controlling the availability of these fields, it ensures that users can effectively manage each step in the order fulfillment process.

When this preference is set, it specifies which fields are available to sales staff or warehouse personnel when picking, packing, and shipping orders. This streamlines workflow by providing access to essential data needed at each stage of the fulfillment process, leading to better organization and efficiency.

In contrast, the other options focus on functionalities that do not align directly with the management of fields related to order fulfillment. For example, confirming emails, default fulfillment states, or ordering transactions by date pertain to different aspects of sales processing and do not specifically manage the visibility and interaction with fulfillment-related fields. Therefore, the primary role of the Picked/Packed/Shipped Status sales preference is to optimize the availability of critical fields for a smooth and organized fulfillment process.
