Awaiting: The shipment is waiting for the user to tender it to a carrier.
Tendered: The shipment has been tendered to a carrier and is waiting for the carrier to confirm that accept the tender.
On Hold: A shipment can be on hold if someone manually places it on hold, or if it meets some hold policy criteria established by the enterprise.
Confirmed: The carrier chosen during tendering has accepted the shipment.
