   Click here for an explanation of reconciliation statuses.

   1. • Processing/Suspended/Finalized/Approved
      • • Processing: Flagging all items submits the job to the central server. Once all items have been flagged, the statement’s status is updated to Suspended.
        • Suspended: Work in progress.
        • Finalized: The statement is complete.
        • Approved: The statement has been approved for payment. The statement's status is updated to Approved via the Approve for Payment action.
      • Paid/Unpaid/Closed
      • • Paid: Paid via the General Ledger.
        • Unpaid: Not yet paid via the General Ledger.
        • Closed: This status replaces the Unpaid status for the selected reconciliation. The Close Without Paying action allows you to close a statement that will not be paid. Use this action only if your organization is cleaning up old payables or if the statement’s amount is 0.00. Using this action on a basic statement might result in an out-of-balance situation.

      • Re-Opened: When a statement has been re-opened, this indicator is always set. This is because once a statement is re-opened, it cannot be deleted. The Delete Statement option is allowed only for suspended statements that have not been re-opened.
