"Each order processing object in the OMS has a business status and IT status. This provides strong recovery procedures and exception case handling when processing transactions across multiple services and ensures Reddwerks OMS is always 100% in sync with the source WMS."
What does it mean by "Each order processing object in the OMS has a business status and IT status" ?
(OMS=Order management system, WMS=Warehouse management system)

instance of object, "record"
In OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), an object is an entity to be manipulated. Sample is "order processing object" (hereinafter I refer as OPO). Usually, when people talk about object, they mean "instance of the object". OPO can have many instances, each representing a single order processing transaction.
In layman terms, you can imagine such instance as a database record (although, from computer science point of view, "object" and "record" are different stuff). So, record of order processing shall contain two status: business status (such as: order is received/closed/processed) and IT status (this is status from application standpoint, such as: record is locked/indexed/encoded/etc.)

See notes below
Object: Computers. any item that can be individually selected or manipulated, as a picture, data file, or piece of text.
It seems to me in this case OBJECT is the ORDER. Each ORDER (but in the database is an OBJECT as per IT terminology) has a business status and IT status.

computer representation of data+member functions as something a user can work with (e.g.,text,icon)
For detail, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming
For a crude example, consider this. In object-oriented programming (OOP) language, objects are members of classes. So in an OOP-based order management system you could have a class of SHOES. SHOES are defined by color, size, style, manufacturer, and price. Each combination of color, size, style, manufacturer, and price constitutes a unique object. The object moreover has a status in the OMS (e.g., quantity assigned to order number X, waiting for picking, picked, waiting for packaging, packed, waiting for shipping, shipped) and a status in the WMS (e.g., quantity in stock, on order, in central warehouse, at XYZ local sites). This is only one rough cut at how "object" could be interpreted in and order processing system, but hopefully it gives you the idea.
-------------------
In the programming paradigm, object-oriented programming, an object is an individual unit of run-time data storage that is used as the basic building block of programs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object (computer science)
(1) A computer representation of something that a user can work with to perform a task. An object can appear as text or an icon. (2) A collection of data and member functions that operate on that data, which together represent a logical entity in the system.
http://www.lnf.infn.it/computing/doc/aixcxx/html/glossary/o....
In an executing object-oriented program, an object is a representation, in memory, of an identifiable thing of interest.

As Erich says, the business status may be received/closed/processed and the It status may be from an application standpoint.
