### Understanding statement statuses

**Submitted:** A statement has entered the applicable review process.

**Under Review:** The statement is being examined.

**Disputed:** An issue or disagreement requires attention.

**Approved:** The statement has completed the applicable approval process.

**Payment Processing:** A related payment is progressing through its payment workflow.

**Paid:** The payment has reached the applicable completed status.

Approval of a royalty statement and completion of its payment are separate events.
