Hold Codes Overview

Hold codes are used to indicate why accounts payable check processing is stopped for a vendor, batch, invoice, or invoice detail line. Users select the appropriate code to place an invoice on hold. The hold must be removed before invoice processing can proceed.

Hold codes are managed on the Setup Hold Codes tab. If desired, you can delete any hold codes that are not applied to an invoice.

Note

Setting up hold codes is optional. Hold codes can be set up at any time because they do not affect the setup process.

Hold codes can be applied in the following ways:

Place all invoices for a vendor on hold from the Setup Vendor General tab.
Place all invoices for a batch on hold from the Change Hold Status tab.
Place invoice detail line items on hold from the Invoice Entry Invoices tab.
Manage hold status for multiple batches, invoices, and invoice line items from the Change Hold Status tab.
