Understanding bill statuses

A bill's status tells you where it is in its journey from received to paid.

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.
