This value is set to ???Confirm Stock??? if the current pipeline section is 3 (awaiting stock confirmation), or
to ???Confirm Shipment??? if the current pipeline section is 6 (awaiting shipment confirmation). If the current pipeline
section is not set to 3 or 6, it means that the order has been completed successfully, and the button is not shown.
The administrator can always check what happened to the order by checking the audit trail that is displayed on
the page.
All that remains now is to check that everything is working properly. To do this, use the web interface to place an
order, and then review it via the orders details administration section. You should see that the order is awaiting
confirmation of stock, as shown earlier in Figure 19-7.
Click the Confirm Stock for Order button, and the order is processed. Because this happens very quickly, we are
soon presented with the next stage, where the Confirm Stock for Order button is replaced by a new button named
Confirm Shipment, and the audit trail shows a new set of data.
Clicking the Confirm Shipment button completes the order. If we scroll down the page, we can see all audit trail
messages that have been stored in the database concerning this order.
