Timesheet submission
A submitted week carries one of four statuses. Before anyone submits, the week has no status at all and shows as Not submitted.There is no
rejected status on a timesheet. Sending one back is
changes requested, and it lands the week straight back with its author.
Reopening an approved week is an event, not a status – it puts the week back into
changes_requested.Legal moves
See timesheet statuses and
reopen an approval.
Time entry
Each individual entry carries its own approval status. This is what decides whether an hour can still be edited, and whether it can be invoiced.
A Rejected badge is what you see on a draft entry that was sent back with a
reason. It is a display state, not a sixth status.

Invoice
Legal moves
A status is never its own successor, so

A draft invoice cannot take a payment. Send it first. And an invoice that is
already
paid or void can never move again – to change a paid invoice, void it and
raise a new one.Expense
Legal moves
See expense statuses.
Leave request
Only a
pending request can be withdrawn, and only an approved one can be revoked.

Timecard day
The Time Clock resolves each day to one primary status, and can add more alongside it.
A timecard period you submit uses the same four statuses as a timesheet:
submitted, approved, changes_requested, withdrawn.
See timecards and
missing clock out.
Invitation
A
pending invitation holds a seat. See
pending invitations.
Subscription

Budget shape
Not a status, but the two fields people look for alongside one.
A monthly budget is a recurring retainer. See
