# Set incoming order state

## Incoming order states

An incoming order will always have one of the following state that define the order:

* New (There is a new incoming order that requires a shipping action)
* Processing (Someone started creating a shipment but it is still pending)
* Completed (A shipment was created for this order)
* Cancelled (The order was cancelled)
