&#x20;On creating a new client, it moves into the  "Pending for approval" state. From the approval state, it can undergo the following transitions:

* On clicking on "Activate", the client gets "Active".\
  **OR**

* On clicking on "Close", the client gets "Closed".\
  **OR**

* On clicking on "Reject", the client gets "Rejected".\
  **OR**

* On clicking on "Withdrawn by client", the client gets "Withdrawn".\
  **OR**

* On clicking on "Delete" the client gets "Deleted". Once a client gets deleted, it won't show up anywhere in Mifos X.\\

* If the client is in the "Closed" state, it can be "Reactivated" to make it "Active".

* If the client is in the following states: Rejected/Withdrawn/Deleted, it cannot be Activated again.&#x20;
