What this guide covers
Client approval statuses
These reflect your decision on an estimate:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending Client Approval | Waiting for you to approve or reject |
| Client Approved | You approved the estimate |
| Client Rejected | You rejected the estimate |
Internal statuses you may see
The business also tracks operational statuses. In the portal you may see labels such as:
- Sent for approval — shared with you for review
- Approved — accepted (often after client approval)
- Rejected — declined
- Invoiced / Partially paid / Fully paid — billing progress after approval
When pricing is hidden
Some contacts see estimate scope without dollar amounts based on business settings. If totals are missing, you can still approve scope-only when the business allows it.
