Journal Status

The journal status indicates the current state of the journal. The status of a journal changes when you create, submit, approve, reject, or post the journal.

Table 23. Journal Statuses

Status	Description
Working	Journal is created. It has been saved, but it can be incomplete. For example, it might need to have a label or single entity assigned.

The journal actions that are available from the Process drop-down list depend on the journal status. For example, if the journal has a status of Approved, the only actions available are Reject or Post.
