 * HI
    I’m using the free version at the moment AND am testing a new website where
   payment method = cheque so every new order is set to “ON HOLD” so I have to manually
   advance to “PROCESSING”.
 * Is is possible to split the order at this point automatically and set the sub
   order status to “PROCESSING” and the original order to completed? ie as soon 
   as I move the order status to processing order splitter kicks in?
 * Thx

 * You can change sub order status in General Settings tab like this [https://prnt.sc/v8dzbm](https://prnt.sc/v8dzbm)

 * Its not quite working as I’d hoped!
 * When order placed it comes through as ON HOLD (which as I’m testing via cheque
   payment is OK for now)
    I then manually move to PROCESSING but no split happens
   at this point. I have to manually split the order. When I do this the sub orders
   are created and set to PROCESSING but the original order also says PROCESSING.
 * 1. Can the original order be marked as COMPLETE at the point of pressing the 
   split order routine?
 * 2. When I move the original order stage to PROCESSING can the order slit automatically
   happen or is it always a manual action?
 * Thx again.

 * Please attach a screenshot of your settings page, there are 2 dropdown options
   for this purpose. And one checkbox for auto split. Please provide a screenshot
   so we can review the settings.
    Also mention the splitting method you are using.

 * [@cciwebdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cciwebdev/) Let me explain you
   how does Order Status functionality work?
 * [Section 1](https://prnt.sc/vl69xx): In this section you can change splitted(
   child) order(s) status. It will change only child orders status not the parent
   order.
    [Section 2](https://prnt.sc/vl69vk): In this section you can change parent
   order status. There are two cases here, first is Single Order Case and the second
   is Split Order Case.
    1.  An order is placed and there is no splitting so, its order status will be changed
       to your selected status.
    2. An order is placed and it is splitted to e.g. 2 orders. So, parent order status
       will be changed as selected in the dropdown.
 * **Most important**: Order Status and Auto Split will work automatic environment.
   It will not change status when you split manually and it will not split when 
   you change order status manually.
