Service PO Invoice Hold Due to Missing Receipt Scenario

Summary:

A company creates a Service-type Purchase Order for monthly consulting services.

• The PO has 3 lines, each representing a separate month:
  • Line 1: January – £5,000
  • Line 2: February – £5,000
  • Line 3: March – £5,000

Process:

1. The consultant sends 3 separate invoices, one for each month.
2. The AP team enters all 3 invoices into Oracle Cloud Payables.
3. Only January and February services have been receipted by the business.
4. March receipt is still pending.

Result:

• Oracle applies a matching hold on all 3 invoices.
• Even though January and February are receipted, none of the invoices are released for payment until the March receipt is completed.

Anyone face this requirement and what is best practice.
