Article statuses
Supported article statuses are set on the Merchant Configuration Page. There, you can choose to which statuses will be supported in the Articles environment : available, unavailable, hidden, available with quantity indication, available with quantity limitation, ordered and unavailable online.
It is to note that these article statuses are assessed willingly while at the Modify General Page so as to give to a particular article availability and appearance properties independently of the article type they belong to.
- available : the default status for an article, that is to be seen in any context ;
- unavailable : this article will appear in the Orders context, but will be flagged as 'unavailable' and thus it will not be possible to order it. It can used for instance for an article that is only temporarily unavailable and has to appear as so as a reminder ;
- unavailable online : same as above ;
- hidden : this article will not appear in the Orders context. The main difference with the 'unavailable' status is that here, we do not want this article to be ordered. In general, setting 'hidden' for the visibility of the Article Type they belong to is the way to hide an article in the Orders context. But, inside an article type, if some articles are to be hidden and others not, this article status 'hidden' allows to hide those without affecting the others ;
- available with quantity indication ;
- available with quantity limitation ;
- ordered.
