I'm trying to determine what is the proper way to close out completed orders. For example, I process a "complete refund" for an order via paypal, I change the order status to "processing". How what? The refund did not adjust my stock inventory. So, I guess I have to manually adjust those items.
Also, how do completely close the transaction - should not the transaction be archived somewhere and removed from the active database at some point. Additionally, what about all the "delivered" orders. I would assume that somepoint in the future they should be archived. I can not find any information on how this should be done and when. I understand this is not double-entry accounting and I'm seeing a manual entry state system. I'm just trying to close some of the holes -- document everything for my store-manager. Any advise or starting points would be appreciated.
