how to stop invoices being accounted while in initiated status?

Hello everyone,

Hope you all are doing well,

Please help me to find a way to stop invoices from being accounted while it is in approval initiated status, no invoice has finally be approved and accounting to that invoice is generated and transferred to the GL. I had created a manual accounting hold but it resulted in errors to AME approval packges becuase the hold was changing invoice status from validated to revalidation. Now, i have no option to stop accounting for approval initiated invoices, it is big drawback in our business environment if invoices get accounted before approval.

Please tell me the proper way to achieve this whether creating new manual hold (as per my knowledge this should have worked, it worked for accounting but does not sends invoice to the further approvers and invoice remain stuck in initiated status).
