Magento – Getting The State History of an Order

You can call $order->getBaseTotalDue(). If this is 0, the order is fully paid.

Transfer WMS is not a default status in Magento. This is not a problem, except for the fact that statuses are married to states, and only states that have the option visible_on_front property set to a truthy value will display to a customer.

Here's the block that is responsible for display of recent orders in the dashboard to the customer:

#file: app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Block/Order/History.php
class Mage_Sales_Block_Order_History extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->setTemplate('sales/order/history.phtml');

        $orders = Mage::getResourceModel('sales/order_collection')
            ->addFieldToSelect('*')
            ->addFieldToFilter('customer_id', Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getId())
            ->addFieldToFilter('state', array('in' => Mage::getSingleton('sales/order_config')->getVisibleOnFrontStates()))
            ->setOrder('created_at', 'desc')
        ;

        $this->setOrders($orders);

        Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getAction()->getLayout()->getBlock('root')->setHeaderTitle(Mage::helper('sales')->__('My Orders'));
    }
    //....snip 
}

The reason this is important is because it's filtering the state out of the view if it is not marked visible. If you are using a custom state you'll have to modify this in the xml definition. Custom states can be added via config xml, and may have been added via a module. You'll have to search for it, and it usually looks like this:

<order>
    <states>
        <new translate="label">
            <label>New</label>
            <statuses>
                <pending default="1"/>
            </statuses>
            <visible_on_front>1</visible_on_front>
        </new>
   </states>
</order>

This particular snippet comes from /app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/config.xml. Notice the visible_on_front property - that's your way of controlling whether the customer will see this or not.

Best of luck.
