Invoice Holds in Oracle Payables

There are three types of Invoice Holds in Oracle Payables:

• Matching holds which are created when the invoiced item does not agree with the purchase order information in either quantity or unit price.

• Other system-generated holds such as payment falls outside and open Payables period.

• Manual holds placed on the invoice in accordance with specific company policy.

Manual Holds on Accounts Payable invoices are required when

• Check requests and expense reports do not have the proper authorizing signatures
• Errors exist in amounts or calculations in invoices, expense reports, or check requests.
• Expense reports are missing receipts or receipts do not match the expensed value.

System-generated Holds can be automatically released by executing the invoice approval process.

The Invoice Approval Process is run before every check run.
