Quick answer
Read nodes in order: draft and submitted are applicant actions; accepted means the formal check passed and assignment followed; under review checks documents and formulas, possibly with supplements; on-site audit applies to factories; then comes fatwa and BPJPH issuance. A Shenyang plant once mistook supplement pending for rejection; the file continued after files were supplied. Time at each node depends on quality and scheduling, so actual progress controls.
Detailed explanation
Status meaning
| System stage | Meaning and applicant action |
|---|---|
| Submission and acceptance | Formal check passed, awaiting assignment |
| Document review | Reviewer checks files; supplements may arrive |
| On-site audit | Factory audit is scheduled and completed |
| Fatwa and issuance | After the fatwa, BPJPH issues the electronic certificate |
Two often-misread statuses
Supplement pending is not rejection: the status pauses for the reply and resumes after items are completed. Returned usually means a formal or substantive issue must be fixed before resubmission; read the return note first instead of uploading the same file again.
Managing status
Screenshot every node with dates, and log supplement replies and annex numbers. The Shenyang plant has one person export status weekly, so scheduling waits are not mistaken for lost files. When the current Indonesian or English system prompt is unclear, the LHLN can help interpret it.
