### Business process statuses

The business process statuses are as follows:

Status | Description
UNDEFINED | The business process has been created.
IN PROGRESS | The business process has been launched.
COMPLETED | The business process has ended.
MANUALLY COMPLETED | The business process has been ended by an administrator.
REJECTED | The business process has been rejected by a user.
FAILED | One of the steps has failed. The failure can be due to various reasons, such as a user you tried to check out an object that is already checked out.
CANCELED | A failed or rejected business process has been canceled by a user who received this business process and decided that continuing the process would not be necessary. For example, an R&D manager receives a rejection for a new part introduction, because introduction of this part would be unnecessary. As a result, the R&D manager decides to cancel the business process.
