doorverwerkt

Doorverwerkt is a Dutch term used as an adjective or past participle to describe data, documents, or tasks that have completed a processing step and have been forwarded to the next stage, recipient, or system. It denotes that the item is no longer pending and has moved onward in a workflow.

Etymology and form: the word combines door- (through, completely, across) with verwerken (to process or handle). In practice, doorverwerkt signals that an item has undergone processing and been passed along within a process, such as administration, data handling, or logistics.

Usage: in administrative contexts, a form or record may be described as doorverwerkt once it has been entered into a system and routed to the appropriate department. In accounting, invoices can be doorverwerkt after entry into the ledger. In data processing, records may be doorverwerkt after validation and import. In publishing or journalism, manuscripts or submissions may be doorverwerkt as they move through editing, layout, and production.

Relation to related terms: doorverwerkt is distinct from doorverwijzen, which means to redirect or refer to another resource. It is also related to verwerken, the general verb meaning to process; doorverwerken specifies that the processing has advanced to the next stage or recipient.
