3PLs report order progress in their own vocabulary (RDY2PK,
PICKIP, COMPLT…). The status map translates each raw code into a
human label and one of the connector's canonical statuses:
Received > Processing > Picked > Packed > Despatched, plus Hold and Cancelled.
The table is seeded automatically per instance with the provider's known codes (Sprint's ~20 codes, ShipHero's fulfilment statuses) the moment the instance is created - you normally never touch it. It stays editable per instance so you can relabel codes in your team's language or classify a new code the 3PL introduces.
What the canonical status drives:
AP_ER1 "Error - No Stock".An unmapped code is never an error: the order shows the raw code and is treated as "processing" until you classify it.
Example: Sprint introduces a new hold code AP_ER9. Orders show
"AP_ER9" as their status; you add one mapping line (code AP_ER9,
label "Error - Compliance Hold", canonical Hold) and from the next
poll those orders count on the dashboard's On Hold card like any other
hold.
