# Reporting progress

While a job is running, progress updates may be sent to Future Ordering to allow better monitoring of import flows.

## Progress

Use the [progress report API](/api#tag/Master-Data-Orchestrations/operation/CreateProgressReport) to provide status updates while your job is running. Progress updates are informational and do not affect the import - they are shown when monitoring the run in Navigator.

Example request body:
```json
{
	...
	"status": "LOADING",
	"information": "Loaded 250 of 1000 entities."
}
```

Available statuses: `STARTED`, `RUNNING`, `LOADING`, `DOWNLOADING`, `TRANSFERRING`, `PATCHING`, `MERGING`, `WAITING`, `SUCCESS`, `WARNING`.

## Complete

Use the [complete report API](/api#tag/Master-Data-Orchestrations/operation/CreateCompleteReport) to report that your job has finished successfully.

Example request body:
```json
{
	...
	"data": {
		"<entityId>": {
			"references": ["..."],
			"dataSources": ["..."],
			"route": "https://..."
		}
	},
	...
}
```

- **`data`** — The output of your processing, keyed by entity identifier. If there are more steps in the flow, this is what the next step receives as input.

## Error

Use the [error report API](/api#tag/Master-Data-Orchestrations/operation/CreateErrorReport) to report that your job has encountered an unrecoverable error. Creating an error report stops the flow.

Example request body:
```json
{
	...
	"error": {
		"code": "IMPORT_FAILED",
		"message": "Unable to connect to source system."
	}
}
```
