Control Region of the Suppliers and Supplier Sites windows

Prevent payment of multiple supplier invoices by applying a hold to the supplier site rather than on each individual invoice. There are several types of supplier related holds that you enable for a supplier site. Payables also provides these options at the Supplier level, but Payables only uses these values to provide defaults for new supplier sites that you enter. The options you enable at the Supplier Site control Payables processing.

Hold All Payments. The most restrictive supplier site hold. By checking Hold All Payments for a supplier site, you prevent the supplier site from being selected for payment during a payment batch or for a Quick payment. You cannot pay invoices for the supplier site until you uncheck the Hold All Payments option at the supplier site.

Attention: If the Hold All Payments option is enabled at the supplier site, the Hold field in the Invoices window does not reflect this, because it is a supplier hold, not an invoice hold.

Hold Unmatched Invoices. If you enable this option for a site, then Payables applies a Matching Required hold to an invoice if it has Item type distributions that are not purchase order matched (unless the sum of the distributions by accounting code combination is zero). Payables applies the hold to the invoice during Approval. You cannot pay the invoice until you release the hold. You can release this hold by matching the invoice to a purchase order and resubmitting Approval, or you can manually release the hold in the Holds window of the Invoice Workbench.

The default is the Hold Unmatched Invoices option you choose in the Financials Options window. However, if this is a supplier that the system automatically created during Invoice Import, the default is the Hold Unmatched Expense Report Invoices option you define in the Expense Report region of the Payables Options window.

Hold Future Invoices. If enabled, Payables automatically applies a Supplier hold to all new invoices entered for that site, including EDI invoices. Payables applies this hold when you save an invoice. You will still be able to pay invoices that have previously been entered for the supplier site. You can manually release the hold in the Holds window of the Invoice Workbench. Uncheck this supplier site option when you no longer want to hold future invoices for a supplier site.

Hold Reason. The reason you are applying an invoice hold to an invoice.

Invoice Amount Limit. If you enter an invoice for a supplier site that exceeds the invoice amount limit you specify, Payables applies an Amount hold to the invoice during Approval. This hold will also apply to EDI invoices you import. You cannot pay the invoice until you release the hold. You can release the hold by adjusting the invoice amount or you can manually release the hold in the Holds window of the Invoice Workbench.
