Payments Status Lifecycle

Each payment moves through the following statuses:

---

Status	Definition
Draft	Monthly tracking payments are updated with current monthly Measurement results, for visibility on estimated accrued payment to date. Upfront payments are updated with latest available data for a partial period, based on varying program cadence.
Ready for Review	Quarterly payments are finalized and pending client review, because all data within the “Period” column is included in the payment total. However, data is still mutable—if the status is not changed to “In Review”, values may update with new data. Can include both upfront and tracking payments.
In Review	The admin is actively reviewing results. Once moved to "In Review" status, the payment value is locked to freeze data and results for the quarterly approval cycle, before the next payment refresh.
Approved	Final values are approved and transacted. Approved payments affect future Draft and Ready for Review payments.
Dismissed	Payments that are not transacted. Dismissing brings the payment’s value for the current period to $0 and ignores the project until the next refresh.
