Magento – Change order status in observer

event-observermagento-1.9order-status

I am using sales_order_save_after event.
In observer method, I have written following code:

$order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
$order->setState(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_NEW, true);

But after order placed, order state is displaying as "processing" only. I have checked that observer method is called.

sales_order_save_after is called several times whenever save() function of model Mage_Sales_Model_Order.

As you want to change order status to new whenever order place means order is just place.

If put a condition like if(!$order->getId()) at observer then it will only fire when order is placed.Because getId() give null until order save

$order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
if(!$order->getId()):
$order->setState(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_NEW, true);
endif;

Magento – Event to use after order placed and when order status is changed

Override magento Mage_Sales_Model_Order using or Copy

app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php

app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php

add define new event on _setStatus function

    protected function _setState($state, $status = false, $comment = '',
    $isCustomerNotified = null, $shouldProtectState = false)
{
Mage::dispatchEvent('sales_order_status_before', array('order' => $this, 'state' => $state, 'status' => $status, 'comment' => $comment, 'isCustomerNotified' => $isCustomerNotified, 'shouldProtectState' => $shouldProtectState));
    // attempt to set the specified state
    if ($shouldProtectState) {
        if ($this->isStateProtected($state)) {
            Mage::throwException(
                Mage::helper('sales')->__('The Order State "%s" must not be set manually.', $state)
            );
        }
    }
    $this->setData('state', $state);

    // add status history
    if ($status) {
        if ($status === true) {
            $status = $this->getConfig()->getStateDefaultStatus($state);
        }
        $this->setStatus($status);
        $history = $this->addStatusHistoryComment($comment, false); // no sense to set $status again
        $history->setIsCustomerNotified($isCustomerNotified); // for backwards compatibility
    }
Mage::dispatchEvent('sales_order_status_after', array('order' => $this, 'state' => $state, 'status' => $status, 'comment' => $comment, 'isCustomerNotified' => $isCustomerNotified, 'shouldProtectState' => $shouldProtectState));
    return $this;
}

using two sales_order_status_after and sales_order_status_before you can do your requirement

or best way to do this sales_order_save_after and in this observer if

you get old value then try

$oldstatus=$order->getOrigData('status');
$Newstatus=$order->getData('status');

Magento – Magento 2 – Change Order status after invoicing

I think this is cover of your requirement.

from admin panel Order statuses cannot be changed, as it disrupts the business logic of Magento itself.

Generally, it’s only possible to cancel, hold and unhold pending orders.

If you want to cancel an order with a ‘Processing’ status or ‘Complete" status you will have to create a credit note for this.
