Bulk change order status to remove old orders from the Processing tab without deducting stock or notifying your channel, and move shipped orders back.

New to SKULabs? Do you have orders in progress, partially fulfilled orders, or orders you already shipped that show as unshipped in SKULabs? Read Onboarding to a new platform when you have orders in progress first.

How to remove old orders from the Processing tab

If your Processing list has old or already shipped orders, use Bulk status change to mark them as shipped. This does not deduct stock and does not notify your sales channel.

1. On the Processing tab, find the oldest order that still needs to ship. Note its date.

2. Set the date range at the top right to end the day before that date. For example, if the oldest order you still need to ship is from June 15, 2026, use January 1, 2000 to June 14, 2026. Every order in this range should already be fully fulfilled.

How to move shipped orders back to the Processing tab

Changing the status of a shipped order is not enough to bring it back to Processing. If you set a shipped order to Not started, it moves to the Archived tab. Then un-archive it:

1. On the Shipped tab, select the orders you want to move back.

2. Click Actions, then Bulk status change. Choose Not started and click Save. The orders move to the Archived tab.
