Definition

Not selected but “in process” usually means the portal reflects mixed states due to timing or multi-requisition tracking behavior.

What’s usually happening behind the scenes

One posting may be closed while another linked workflow or profile stage remains active in the system.

Why it stays in this status

Batch updates and separate workflow modules commonly create temporary status mismatches.

How long it usually lasts

It often resolves after the next system update cycle.

What usually doesn’t help

Reading conflicting labels as a guaranteed outcome usually does not reflect system complexity.

When action might make sense

If no timeline was shared, a concise follow-up is often reasonable after about one to two weeks. If a timeline was shared, following up after that window is often reasonable while continuing other active applications.
