## Crediting rules status

There are three statuses available for crediting rules:

- **Active:**Crediting engine pulls data from external sources against the criteria configured in the crediting rule.
- **Inactive:**Crediting rule is not ready to be run and is paused.
- **Archived:**Crediting rule 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.
