Automatic Hold on Invoice Entry & Payment Batch Processing
Two questions:
1) Would someone please explain when the system will put an automatic hold (Dist Variance) on an invoice? I had a Payables User who was processing an invoice, attempt to put the invoice on hold because the distribution was not correct. The Payables User used the hold type of AMOUNT, and discovered that the system automatically put a hold on the invoice of DIST VARIANCE as well. After updating the variance, the system automatically took the invoice off of hold, but the User had to manually take the invoice off of the manual hold (AMOUNT).
Will the system automatically put an invoice on DIST VARIANCE hold if the distribution is incorrect and the validation process is run? I'm trying to figure out why the system created an automatic hold if there was already a manual hold put on the invoice. Was the type of manual hold reason incorrect, requiring the system to override it and put a hold on the invoice itself?
