# Transaction statuses

Learn about the different transaction statuses in AvaTax and how they affect reporting and tax returns.

The status of a transaction determines whether to include the transaction on reports or to report it on tax returns.

Transactions in the AvaTax web portal can have one of the following statuses:

-   **Uncommitted**: The transaction is added in AvaTax but not committed. It isn't included on reports or returns filed by Managed Returns until it's committed.

-   **Committed**: The transaction is committed to AvaTax and included on reports and the next filed return.

-   **Void**: The transaction is voided in AvaTax, and isn't included on reports or returns.

-   **Locked**: The transaction is included on a tax return. To change locked transactions, contact [Avalara Support](https://knowledge.avalara.com/bundle/xti1670300535545/page/contact_avalara_support.html) or [amend the return](https://knowledge.avalara.com/bundle/hps1656397152776_hps1656397152776/page/Filing_a_return_amendment.html).

If you use the AvaTax API, you'll see transactions with the following statuses in the API call response data:

-   **Saved**: The transaction is saved to AvaTax but not committed. It isn't included on reports or returns filed by Managed Returns until you commit it. Transactions with the Saved status appear as Uncommitted when you view them in the AvaTax web portal.

-   **Posted**: The transaction is saved, and AvaTax verified that it matches the transaction posted in your business application. It isn't included on reports or returns filed by Managed Returns until it's committed. Transactions with the Posted status appear as Uncommitted when you view them in the AvaTax web portal.

-   **Adjusted**: The transaction has been adjusted. When you adjust a transaction, the system saves the original version with the status of Adjusted. The current version of the transaction has a status of Committed, Uncommitted, Saved, Posted, or Void. You can use the AvaTax API to filter on the Adjusted status to view the original transaction details.

-   **Temporary**: The API call used a document type ending in Order, such as `SalesOrder`. We use order document types to estimate tax, and AvaTax doesn't save the transactions.

-   **Cancelled**: The transaction has been cancelled and isn't included on reports or returns. Cancelled transactions appear as Void when you view them in the AvaTax web portal.
