System Holds in Oracle Payables

Payables applies some holds that you cannot manually release. You can use the Invoice Holds window of the Invoice Workbench to view invoices with these holds, but you cannot release these holds. You must fix the problem that caused Approval to place the hold on the invoice then resubmit Approval to release the holds. You cannot release the following holds:

• Dist Variance:- Invoice amount does not equal the sum of the invoice distribution amounts.

• No Rate:- Foreign currency invoice does not have an exchange rate assigned to it.

• Can't Funds Check:- Budget does not exist for the invoice accounting period, or the invoice distribution account does not equal the purchase order distribution account. This hold is used by Payables only if you use encumbrance accounting and the absolute or advisory method of budgetary control.

• Final Matching:- Invoice has one or more distributions final matched to a purchase order.

• Can't Try PO Close:- Invoice is final matched to purchase order, but Approval placed one or more holds on invoice during approval.

• Dist Acct Invalid:- Invoice distribution has an invalid account. An invalid account prevents you from creating accounting entries for an invoice or payment.

• ERV Acct Invalid:- Approval created an invalid Exchange Rate Variance account for an invoice distribution. Payables only applies this hold if you enable Automatic Offsets.

• No AWT Period:- Approval did not find the period in the withholding tax special calendar. Create the period in the special calendar and resubmit Approval.
