Order history
Order history shows previous orders within an agreed account scope. Old prices, current availability and current processing remain separate information.
Order history is an overview of previous orders, for example in a shop's customer account. Its scope depends on the accounts, sources and periods included. A portal list is not automatically the complete history of all ERP orders.
Interpret previous orders correctly
In a fictional customer account, a previous order appears with the quantities and prices from that time. These details explain the stored operation. A new order needs current prices, permissions and availability to be checked again. The old row is not a delivery promise for today.
Shopify lists order history as a B2B customer account function. Your application must also establish which orders a user may see and which source supplies their status. Make it clear when a transfer has not yet completed. An order overview, current order status and a complete change log serve different purposes.
