A transaction appears as `Approved` when the risk has been analyzed and the transaction approved. \n\nAfter approval, the amount of the transaction is settled. However, the status of the transaction does not then automatically change to `Finished`. For this to happen, the Tax Receipt for the order has to be entered in the **Orders** module.\n\nAfter this has been done, the **Orders** module communicates with Payments, which alters the status to `Finished`."}
