What each status means
- Draft — created but not submitted.
- Submitted — sent for approval.
- Pending Approval — waiting on an approver.
- Approved — approved by all required levels; ready to pay.
- Open — approved and ready to pay, not yet paid.
- Partially Paid — part paid, with a balance still due.
- Paid — payment complete.
- Overdue — past its due date and still unpaid.
- Rejected — turned down during approval.
- Closed / Void / Cancelled — finished or cancelled.
Other labels you may see
- Match status — from matching a bill to a purchase order: Matched, Unmatched, Partial Match, or Exception.
- Processing status — while a document is being read in the inbox: Processing, or Not a Bill if it wasn't recognized as one.
