Other than the default OnHold and OnSpecialOrder item status types that are located in the new Recall Transaction Details screen, you can also add new item status types that are specifically called what you want. For example, you can create a status type called "Pick Up" that could designate an item is ready to pickup after being on special order. You can set these new item status types in the Setup menu under the Stores and then Others tab, or simply follow the guide below.
