Temporarily Pausing Payment : Placing an Invoice on Hold

By | August 24, 2023

In a normal business scenario, invoices play an important role as it is a key part of any business process. An invoice is a document that maintains a record of a transaction between a buyer and seller

Easily prevent payment for Supplier BP invoices with our intuitive system. By default, all new Supplier BP invoices are set to the status of “To Validate,” while the other option available is “Pending.” Take charge of your invoice processing with our user-friendly hold feature!

When the status is set to “To validate” we have the Post button enabled and it can be posted either manually or by the Supplier BP invoice posting function.

Once the accounting document is generated, it can be processed by the payment proposal function and a payment can be generated.

If the invoice is not posted and the status is set to “to validate”, it can still be picked up in the automatic payment proposal after the invoice is validated, that is by a recurring task BPSINV (supplier validation) function.

Therefore, to block an invoice, set the status to “Pending”. This will disable the post button and prevent it from getting paid.

If you have more than one invoice in “pending” status and want to set it “to validate”, use the Invoices pending (VALBIS) function to change the status.

Suppose if the invoice has already been validated, we still can prevent it from getting paid by setting the level of payment approval to “Pending” and a dispute code under the Open item edit screen.

Placing an invoice on hold or temporarily pausing payment in Sage X3 is a valuable tool for managing discrepancies and issues related to invoices before they’re paid. This process helps maintain accuracy in financial transactions and ensures that payments are only made for invoices that are accurate and valid. Effective documentation of the reason for the hold and proper communication with relevant parties are crucial aspects of this process.
