Statuses and outcome labels
What each status pill and outcome label means across documents, payables, orders, kitchen tickets, alerts, corrective actions and proposals.
ChowChirp never shows a generic "Success". Every outcome is named for the fact it represents. This page lists them.
Command outcomes
Any action you take moves through these states. The outcome panel shows the current one and the next permitted step.
