-**Statuses on this page are specific for 4.0.0 RC8 and higher.**
+This page allows you to manage //order items// that are in the system.  On this page, you will **only be able to see order items that are attached to active orders**.  If you are looking for a particular order item and do not find it here, check on the [[admin_menu:orders:manage_orders:start|Manage Orders]] page in your admin to see if the order it is attached to is activated or not.
-**Status names used before Geo 4.0.0 RC8**:
-  * New status name = //old status name, used before Geo 4.0 RC8//
-  * declined = //needs alteration//
-  * pending = //inactive//

 If you have selected to **require admin approval** for any price plan item settings, this page is where you will be doing that approval.

 Do not leave an order item as pending for any extended length of time as it can "block" certain things from being allowed, depending on what the order item is for.  For example, if you were to leave an order item for a "listing edit" set to //Pending//, the user would be blocked from making any further changes to that listing until you changed the status to "active" or "declined" depending on if you approve of the changes they made or not.
-===== Manage Items vs Manage Orders =====
-The main difference: Manage Orders **is for money**, while Manage Items **is for screening** things before they go live.
-If you want to make sure you received payment for an order, you want //Manage Orders//.  If you want to make sure a listing is not Spam, or that a listing does not contain in-appropriate materials, etc, you want //Manage Items//.
-If you don't like something in an order, don't cancel the order, instead you approve the order, then go over to Manage Items and decline the actual item in the order.  And likewise, if you never received payment for an item, don't decline the item, instead set the order the item is in to canceled or other appropriate status, and the item will automatically be declined since the payment was never received for the order.
 ===== Item Status Meanings =====
-**Status names used before Geo 4.0.0 RC8**:
-  * New status name = //old status name, used before Geo 4.0 RC8//
-  * declined = //needs alteration//
-  * pending = //inactive//
-(see why the statuses have been renamed? ;-))
 For order items, there are 3 main statuses, along with "delete" which is not a status, but results in the order item being permanently deleted from the system.

-But remember, if you did not receive payment for an order, that is different than declining based on the content of the listing, you would handle that in **Manage Orders**.
