Analyzing document statuses

You can analyze the current status of each document.

Status labels next to document entries let you know the status of each document.

Statuses must be interpreted based on the document's flow direction - whether it is in the reception or the send flow.

Reception status depends on the recipient. The detail level of the status varies based on the messages returned by the receiving system. For example:
  • An invoice sent through the portal starts with the Sent status. From there, it can take on other statuses.

  • The Received status (when a response is received from the recipient's system) may evolve to other statuses such as Acknowledged, Integrated, or Paid, depending on the recipient's integration project settings.

  • For orders, the status changes when the messages are opened. Otherwise, they stay in the Sent status.

Here are examples of assigned statuses:

Acknowledged
The recipient sent a Message Disposition Notification (MDN) to confirm the communication was processed correctly. This doesn't mean that the document has been integrated into the system or that the approval process has started.
Approved
The recipient approves the document. Note that this action doesn't mean that the document is integrated.
Certified
The Certified status on the issuer corresponds to a certified invoice (shown as certified in the Document number column).
Destination ERP or User Pending Event
For approval or integration, the recipient contacted an external entity or the document's source to give additional information or another document.
Error
An error occurred while sending the document to the recipient. The receiving system encountered an error processing the document and notified you.
Integrated
The document has been integrated by the recipient. This means that the recipient can read and add it to their system. Note that a document in the approval process is not considered integrated.
No info
This is the initial description of the document status. If the recipient has no integration (mapping or notification email), the document stays in this status.
None
No notification email has been configured for the receiving company.
Paid
For financial documents, this status means the recipient has paid the specified amount. Only certain ERP recipients can send this status.
Pending approval
The document is waiting for the recipient's approval.
Received
The document was received by its recipient. It means that the document data has been received correctly.
Rejected
The recipient checked the document in their system and rejected it.
Sent
The document was sent to the recipient.
Note: To help you understand the different statuses, status labels are shown in different colors.
  • Yellow shows a processed document.

  • Green shows a processed document with the flow completed.

  • Red is shown when a document is in error.

Documents with errors must be corrected and sent again.
