Tip: Be aware that the Tracking input field will only show up in your customer orders AFTER you set the order as “Shipped” status. (See orders), if you need to get around this until it is addressed ina  future version of Prestshop (current version 1.1) do the following;

open the file  tabs/adminorders.php
Arround 405 find:
if ($carrier->url AND $currentState->id == _PS_OS_SHIPPING_)

Change this to:
if ($carrier->url AND ($currentState->id == _PS_OS_PREPARATION_ || $currentState->id == _PS_OS_SHIPPING_))

Now you should be able to enter the Trackingnumber when the order is set to status "Preparation" and you can still edit the tracking number before shipping and after shipping.

When the order is changed to status "Shipped" the tracking number will be send in the email to your customer.
