When a SAM supplier is in an expired status, any payments to the supplier must be evaluated by an end user and put on hold when required. For regular vouchers and Quick Invoice vouchers, the system displays a warning message when you enter payments for expired SAM suppliers. The warning message provides the user with an option to set the payment on hold and provide a reason code for putting the payment on hold. During the SAM Inbound File process, the system automatically takes payments off hold if the SAM supplier has re-registered and is no longer considered expired. The system displays payments taken off hold on the Inquire File Load Status page.

Whether you create a SAM voucher using the Regular Voucher entry page or the Quick Invoice, the hold payment process is the same.

Use the Voucher - Payments page (VCHR_PAYMENT_PNL) to create voucher payments, including voucher payment holds.
