HOW TO ENTER AP INVOICE WHICH WE RECEIVE BEFOR RECEIVING INVENTORY ITEM

Hello Community;

I have a question , if you have get the same situation as me.

We are using PO and we receive item into inventory and we match AP Invoices to receiving item.

some time a daily of 6 months can occur between the reception of the invoice and the receiving of the item in the inventory. User create AP Invoice  (only the header) just to have a trace and be sure that he will not forget the invoice but it is not a good solution

Can someone give me a workaround, i need a way that i can register invoice and make it as hold  or just run a report to track those invoices. So when they receive item in inventory , they can match receiving items.
