You can setup different structures of folders, so it could be
open
packaging
  - payed
  - not payed
..

But normally you would have one clear workflow for handling the orders, 
so such a complex structure is not needed.

Orders are saved fixed, have a look at tx_commerce_order_articles. For 
statsicts reasons we have included a reference to the  original article.

As I mentioned before, this is quite complex, since you have to take in 
account, that you might inform the customer or change the billing on a 
external system.

Before stating this, we have to make a clear workflow what should happen 
we a order is changes, like a "used case diagram".

If you could do the use case diagram, this would be fine. Actual it's 
planing before programming ..
