How can we stop invoices from being loaded during month end
1) Our month end usually happens for 3-4 hrs including all the processes (validation, accounting, mass additions, sweep etc). After sweep and before closing the period usually people approve invoices which does not allow us to close the period. We will have to sweep the transactions again and re-try the close. This happend atleast 2-3 times durig month end. How can we control this situation and restrict from receiving any new transaction between sweep and close. Would like to know options which other clients follow.
2) How can we restrict receiving invoices from iSupplier, Oracle Supplier network etc during month end. These are the application where users enter invoices and they directly come to invocie workbench. How can we retrict in this scenario.
