How approval works - Driven Knowledge Base

An admin reviews your payout and moves it forward. You see that progress on Payouts. Three cards match the stages: Payouts in review, Approved payouts and Payouts received.

Statuses

Status	What you see	What it means
Draft	Payouts in review	Your admin is still reviewing it. The amount can still change.
Approved	Approved payouts	The amount is locked. The payment has not been recorded yet.
Paid	Payouts received	The payment has been recorded.
Cancelled	The row stays in your list with status Cancelled	This payout will not be paid.

You open any row with View.

What you can do

Comment works at every status, on the payout or on a single deal. Commenting does not change the amount. You cannot approve a payout, mark it paid, or add an item. Those actions belong to an admin. See Approve payouts.

Why a period can sit in review

Payouts for you on one plan are approved in order. The next period can be approved only after the previous one is Paid. A cancelled period is skipped. March can stay in review while February is approved, or while an earlier period is still a draft.

When you are told

If notifications are on, you get an email, and a Slack message when Slack is connected, when:

The payout is approved
The payout is paid
An approved payout is put back in review

A payout put back in review is a draft again, and the amount may change. A paid payout is not put back in review. Each message links to the payout.
