Once I have imported orders and printed them- is it best to delete them, archive them or keep them in the orders screen?
When deciding what to do with old orders, your best practice will depend on what you want to do with the orders at a later date.
Some people use the information for future emails (marketing) and answering any telephone queries. If you change your main status to not shipped then you will only see items to process.
If you do decide to delete the orders you still have to purge them to remove them from the database.
When you get larger numbers of completed orders it is best to create another site and move any processed orders to it. These can then be looked at if required but are not in everyday use.
Some people use this approach to keep to have archives of all of their orders split into VAT quarters (or financial years).
