## Compensation plan status

There are three statuses available for compensation plans:

- **Active:**Commissions engine pulls data from external sources against the criteria configured in the compensation plan.
- **Inactive:**Compensation plan is not ready to be run and is paused.
- **Archived:**Compensation plan is no longer in use and will not be activated at any point, but may have commissions calculated against it which requires historical data to be maintained.
