Contract subscription statuses
This status Indicates
Approved The status of a contract containing non-catalog items is Processed and the associated contract subscription was validated but not yet activated. Once a change occurs that pushes the status of the contract to Open, the contract subscription status becomes Activated. For example, if the contract's start date is in the future, it is in the Processed status until that date is reached.
