Putting a disputed bill on hold means stopping it from being paid while you sort out the problem with the supplier.
The Sage 300 CRE way
Where to find it: Accounts Payable > Tasks > Select Invoices to Pay
- Pick the vendor in the list and click Hold. Use Other > Hold Vendor to hold all current and future invoices.
- Click Release when ready.
- Or leave the invoice pending so it does not post.
Limits in Sage 300 CRE
- Holds can sit on invoices, distributions, vendors, jobs and commitments.
The Pulsify way
- Forward the invoice to Pulsify. It flags price and quantity differences against the PO and possible duplicates.
- If you disagree with the bill, reject it with a reason. The reason is saved with the bill.
- When the corrected invoice or credit note arrives, forward it and approve it.
