Understanding Transaction Statuses#
Your payments move through a clear lifecycle from creation to completion. Understanding these statuses helps you track progress and take appropriate action when needed.Status Overview#
| Status | Final | What It Means | What Happens Next |
|---|
| Initiated | No | Payment created and submitted for processing | Moves to Processing automatically |
| Processing | No | Payment is being processed by the payment rail | Completes when funds are delivered |
| Pending Approval | No | Awaiting authorization from an approver | Requires approval action or will be rejected |
| Completed | Yes | Funds successfully delivered to destination | No further action needed |
| Failed | Yes | Payment could not be completed (see details for reason) | Review error details and retry if appropriate |
| Error | Yes | System or configuration issue prevented processing | Contact support or check configuration |
| Rejected | Yes | Manually declined by an approver | Payment will not process |
| Canceled | Yes | User canceled before processing began | No charges incurred |
| Returned | Yes | Funds returned due to recipient account issues | Investigate recipient details |
Understanding Final vs. Non-Final Statuses#
Non-final statuses indicate the payment is still in progress or awaiting action
Final statuses mean the payment lifecycle is complete (successfully or unsuccessfully)
Monitor non-final statuses to ensure timely approvals and identify processing delays
Status Updates#
Statuses update automatically as payments progress through the system. To see the latest information:The table refreshes periodically while you're viewing it

How Roles Affect Money Movements#
Your role determines what actions you can take with payments. This role-based system ensures proper segregation of duties and maintains security.Role Capabilities#
Dual Control in Action#
When dual control is enabled (configured in Security settings):Payments created by admins require approval from another user
This adds an extra security layer even for trusted users
Payments remain in Pending Approval until authorized
The system prevents self-approval to maintain separation of duties
Why This Matters: Dual control protects against errors and unauthorized transactions while maintaining operational efficiency. High-value payments get an extra review, but routine transactions can still flow smoothly.

This configuration gives you the most critical information at a glance, suitable for tracking payment flow and identifying items needing attention.Tailoring the View to Your Workflow#

Finding Transactions#
Quick Search#
Locate specific payments instantly using the "search" option in the bar at the top:Counterparty Name: Enter the name of the person or business you transacted with. The system searches across all your payment history to find matches. Counterparty Document: Search using the recipient's tax ID, national ID, or business registration number. Useful when you know the document but not the exact name spelling. Movement ID: Enter the unique transaction identifier to pull up a specific payment. This is the fastest method when you have the ID from an email, report, or another system. Batch ID: Find all payments associated with a specific bulk upload file. Essential for reviewing or reconciling batch transactions. External ID: Search using your organization's internal reference number. This connects Cobre transactions to your own accounting or ERP systems. How Search Works#
Select which field you want to search by from the dropdown
Results appear instantly as you type
Search is flexible: you can switch between different search types without clearing previous results
Time-Saving Shortcut: Need to copy the data of a Money Movement? Hover over any row, and select Copy ID. The ID is instantly copied to your clipboard for pasting into emails, reports, or support tickets
Advanced Filtering#
For more precise searches, combine multiple filters to drill down exactly what you need:Status – Focus on specific states (Completed, Processing, Pending Approval, Failed, etc.)
Origin Account – Filter by source account when managing multiple entities
Creation Date – Set date ranges for reporting periods or reconciliation
Currency – View MXN, COP, USD, or other currency transactions
Amount – Set minimum and maximum values to find specific transaction sizes
Type – Filter by payment rail (SPEI, Fast Pay, ACH, Bre-B, etc.)
Strategic Filtering Tips#
Month-end reconciliation: Filter by creation date range and status = Completed
High-value review: Set amount minimum above your approval threshold
Bulk payment tracking: Filter by a specific batch ID or date range
Rail performance: Filter by type to analyze speed and success rates per payment method
Apply multiple filters simultaneously to narrow results precisely. For example: "Show all SPEI payments over $50,000 created last week with status Failed" helps you quickly identify and address issues.
