Hi Bill, custom payment statuses are not currently available but would the following idea work?

Repurpose the overpaid payment status to PO Received. This is wrapped in a textdomain for Event Espresso so it could be renamed by using something like this in a site specific plugin or a child theme’s functions.php file:

function ee_rename_overpaid_payment_status_po_received( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'overpaid' => 'PO Received',
        'Overpaid' => 'PO Received',
    );
 
    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace its translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'ee_rename_overpaid_payment_status_po_received', 10, 3 );

That should change the verbiage. Next to trigger this transaction status, just to go a transaction details screen (click on the date or id of a specific transaction from the transactions overview screen). Then click on the apply payment button in the payment details area and in the next window enter a payment amount of 0.01 and set the registration status to pending payment and save changes.

That will trigger the status. Then when you receive a payment, just delete the 0.01 placeholder by using the trash can icon and add the actual payment amount and set the status for the registration to approved.

Thanks

Hi, there was a typo at the beginning of my prior response. They are not available so I suggested a workaround.

Ok Lorenzo. Help me out:)

I have about 60 registrations to my event in March that have registered, selected invoice for their payment method, and some have sent me purchase orders.

I have pasted the code as you suggested and now I would like to change their payment status to PO Received with your workaround.

Could you help with this?

You should know that I will be doing this for about 60 registrants and many of them have registered in groups of up to 10 teachers.

Thanks Lorenzo,

Bill
