Release Invoice Hold Process in Oracle apps

System Hold:- System automatically applies hold in Invoices if some thing is mismatch in the invoices as per system functionality. System Apply holds if the Invoice Header Amount and the Invoice distribution Lines Amount total does not match or equal with each other or if the some thing happened out of Invoice Tolerance Limit. Invoice Tolerance limit we specifies in the Invoice tolerance setup in oracle Payables.

 

To release the System hold , we need to resolve these Exceptions , Like We need to match the Invoice Header Total with the Invoice Lines Total or we need fulfill the Invoice tolerance limits during PO matching with AP Invoices. Once we will resolve these exceptions then we need to validate the AP invoice again to release the System Hold.

 

As below , We can see below , Invoice header is 250 but Line Total is 200 only.

 

 

But when We validates this Invoice , system will put hold in the Holds tab as below.

 

 

 

Once we will Match the Line amount with Invoice Header Total then after that When we will validate the AP invoice the system will automatically release this hold.

 

 

 

 

Manual Hold :-

 

Manual Hold we apply manual to the oracle Invoices. These are totally user defined holds and user can only release these holds. We can also create new holds as per our requirement and then apply to the Invoices. Once the Hold apply to the Oracle Invoices then that invoices cannot be paid. When we want to release the hold then just enter the Release reason in the Oracle Invoices Holds Tab.

 

As below this is the Manual Hold.
