I have just had an instance where a buyer has placed an order in my store and
paid with an echeque. I had set the status to clearing whilst the echeque cleared
and the buyer has
gone and placed another order which instead of creating a new order has been
added as an addition to the old one. This is making things messy.

My suggestion is that any order set to clearing should have the same status as
paid or packed and not allow any additions but create a new order.

Why didn't you set the order status to packed after you set the payment status
to clearing?

I didn't know the "clearing" status had been born. But presumably they didn't
change it to "packed" because this is simply the only purpose that "clearing"
has. It should work.

I still don't have "clearing" status. I would like to have it though.

Clearing Payment status has been around a long time, but you have to separate
out Payment status from Order status in order to see it.

Clearing along with Sent and Received Payment status does not close the order
from additions,only, Payment status Paid, Order Status Packed,,shipped, completed
prevents additions to existing orders.

Clearing has the same non-functional side effect as Sent or Received ...the buyer
can still add to the order ...dumb but that'should how BL has it set up.

Only setting the order payment status Completed or Order status Packed prevents
additions to an existing order.

I just checked my order received page, and there is no "clearing" status, just
the same 7 options that we've had for a while now.

It's for split payment status from order status. See picture (It's actually
a gold color text):

Interesting...
I've never used that before, but it's good to know.

Thanks,
David
