Sending an invoice

Changing a transaction's status

Editing shipping information

Cancelling and refunding an order

You may want to print a packing slip for an order before you ship it. This way, whoever packs the item can use the slip to see the stock code and quantity required, and can enter their name plus the packing date to avoid future confusion. Note that the Packed amount is printed so it automatically matches the Quantity if you pack a different amount of items, you'll need to manually adjust this on the packing slip.
