For those not familiar with Order status codes, this is from an older article:

your order is entered into the IDCS, it is assigned an order number (also called the reference number). The order number is a number, such as 1008384, that is used to reference your car as it is being built. As you wait for your car, it will go through various stages described below, in order. You should be able ask your dealer at any time to look up where the car is in the order process.

ACKNWL Order acknowledged by PCNA
ACPORD Order accepted by PCNA
MFGCNF Assigned a Production Number
PLPROD Vehicle is Planned for Production
PROD Vehicle in Production
CMPPRD Vehicle Completed Production
PRDLST Factory Last Checkpoint
IMPINV Vehicle Complete and Invoiced
ONVESL On Vessel
IMPPRT Vehicle at U.S. Port
PDI Vehicle at Charleston PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection)
PDIFIN Vehicle Finished PDI
INVSHP Invoiced and Shipped to Dealer
DLRARR Arrived at Dealership

From the point that the car is entered into the IDCS until it reaches the ACPORD status, the dealer can change configuration and options directly using the IDCS. Once the ACPORD status has been reached, the dealer can no longer change the car through the IDCS. While it is in the MFGCNF state, the dealer may be able to change the order. The dealer can find out by going into the IDCS, selecting the Opt field, then pressing 8 for View. If the message shows "Released to production department" or "Assigned a Production Number", it is not changeable. If these messages do not appear, the dealer can fill out an Order Change Request form and fax it to Joe West at PCNA. After making a change, make sure that you get a printed copy of the updated pro-forma invoice with your name at the top. Also be careful when making changes, because some changes might go through and others be rejected. So if you change both the interior and exterior color you might only get one changed, which might leave you with an undesirable color combination. Once the car reaches the PLPROD status, the configuration is not changeable.

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is assigned by the time the car reaches the PRDPNT step. If the eleventh letter in the VIN is a U, your car is a Valmet build. If it is a S, yours is a Stuttgart build. The 10th letter of the VIN identifies the model year. A V is 1997, W is a 1998, X is a 1999, and Y is a 2000.

At various times, other codes may show up on the IDCS. For example, if you ordered Tourist Delivery. The complete list of IDCS codes are listed below.

NO-

But when the cutoff may be I don't have a clue, When it is "Released to production department" or "Assigned a Production Number", it is not changeable.
Seems that the order process may have changed slightly since the orders go directly to MFGCNF state when entered.

ACKNWL "Order acknowledged by PCNA" and ACPORD "Order accepted by PCNA" dont seem to appear as in years past.

Thanks for the codes rmag.

Now I can really make my dealer track production of my October build GT3 !!!!

Great info !!!

Carrera GT

Where's this coming from?

The 10 cars are launch cars or pool cars, no?

I would say those number also say a lot about resale marketability. : )
