Wording and grammar check?

Hello,

Could somebody possibly have a look at the following passage describing basic features of a software application? Some of the wording seems odd to me.

Many thanks in advance!

"...
The central idea of the [name] module is the realization and development of a business transaction through documents and their states. The user can easily monitor whether the contract has already been dealt with, or if it is in the phase of waiting for the production of desired goods and the like. It is possible to search and sort cases by the same criteria as well as in relation to particular goods.
Documents can be set so as to force their processing in the given order. Orders can be divided into a number of sequential deliveries, yet you can still keep a clear track of the of their overall state. Elegant processing of contracts on the basis of documents provides the user with a quick and detailed overview of the development of each business transaction.

Best,

Thanks a lot for the corrections. I have a few questions though.

The last sentence of the first paragraph seems to have a meaning different from the one possibly intended by the author. Would the following be acceptible?

"You can search and sort transactions by this(?)/by the level of completion(?) as well as by particular goods."

In the second paragraph, you have change

Ah. Thanks. I just misunderstood what was there. You're close: "You can search and sort transactions by level of completion as well as by particular goods."
