Flow Statuses

Use the View Flows and Checklist pages to view the status of the tasks within a flow.

This topic covers:

• Flows Statuses and Sub-Statuses

• Flow Status Hierarchy

Flows Statuses and Sub-Statuses

Use the flow status information to do the following:

• Monitor issues with the flow such as processes in error, reconciliation issues, and processes running slower than average.

• Manage and track all tasks within the flow. Monitor the progress of a task by reviewing the percentage completion of the task. The Action menu displays the actions available for a task based on its status.

Each high-level status has a set of sub-statuses grouped together as shown in this table.

Status Group	Sub-Status	Sub-Status Description	Displayed on View Flows	Displayed on Checklist	Displayed on Process Results Summary
Critical Alerts	Critical Errors	Indicates that the payroll process isn't processed due to critical errors, such as a power outage.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Critical Alerts	Stopped	Indicates that the payroll process has stopped processing due to a critical ESS error.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Completed with Alerts	Errors	Indicates that the payroll process has completed but one or more records are in error status.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Completed with Alerts	Rolled Back Records	Indicates that the payroll process has completed but one or more records have been rolled back. You can process these records once you have corrected them.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Completed with Alerts	Marked for Retry	Indicates that the payroll process is marked for recalculation or retry. You can run the retry process for these records once you have corrected them.	Yes	Yes	No
Corrected Processes	Skipped	Indicates that the payroll process is skipped and not processed.	Yes	Yes	No
Corrected Processes	Full Roll Back	Indicates that the process is rolled back for all records and results are removed.	Yes	Yes	No
Pending	Not Started	Indicates that the payroll process hasn't started.	Yes	Yes	No
Pending	Scheduled	Indicates that a payroll process or report is scheduled for processing.	Yes	Yes	No
In Progress	Processing	Indicates that the payroll process is currently running.	Yes	Yes	No
Completed	Complete	Indicates that the payroll process has completed successfully (for all records).	Yes	Yes	Yes

As indicated in this table, the process page displays only submitted processes. For example, it doesn't include pending processes because the flow has been scheduled to run at a later date. And, it doesn't include processes that have been corrected such as rolled-back.

Flow Status Hierarchy

A task flow indicates any flow that contains two or more tasks. For example, a flow that contains all the tasks your company completes for a specified payroll cycle is classified as a task flow

The Checklist displays the status of each task within the payroll cycle flow. However, the View Flows page displays the overall status of a flow, and each task within a task flow can have a different status.

For this reason, the View Flows page displays the flow status based on the flow hierarchy as given in this table. The flow hierarchy is used to display a flow status based on the task within the flow that has the most critical status.

Hierarchy Level	Status Group
1	Critical Alerts
2	Completed with Alerts
3	In Progress
4	Corrected Processes
5	Pending
6	Completed
