Card: Supplier - Ability to put card 'on hold'

Hello,

We deal in the building and construction industry and have supplier invoices that we need to put on hold until the work has been checked and approved by the relevant persons.

In the past we used the CASH MANGER system but changed to MYOB around 4 years ago with our business growth. It was with the CASH MANGER system that allowed you to tick a box which places your nominated invoice on hold stopping it from being included in the payment. When the payment is made for that account the invoice which is on hold shows in the pay list but notes "On Hold" and does'nt include it in the payment run.

What I'm wondering is if there is any chance that something like this can be placed on the MYOB System as it would make tracking of invoices and supplier payments a lot easier to manage.

Thanks

is it possibe to put a particular creditor invoice on hold - to remind not to pay that invoice

"to place a supplier card on hold"

Hello Maverick 

Thank you for your suggestions, we're always looking to improve workflow in AccountRight and would be happy to consider putting a hold function on the creditors invoice. 

I encourage anyone else that would like this function in future upgrades please comment and post.

Kind regards,

I'd really like to see this idea implemented as this would stop an invoice being paid when there is a query against it - for example, I have an invoice here that I wanted a credit raised against however it hasn't been raised as yet as the sales rep is on leave.  This invoice has inadvertently been paid by another employee which now results in an out-of-balance transaction when the credit is raised.  If I had been able to place the invoice on hold, it would not have been paid and the transactions would have balanced as my colleague would have been aware of the circumstances.  If you do create this idea, could you please provide an area to note the reason for the hold also?  Thanks :)

Hello Kellie_Cablenet

That is a good example of how this idea will work for you. Having the field for a reason as well would me most helpful.

Anyone that would like to see this implemented please vote and comment. 

Yes please need the facility to put a creditors invoice on hold and be able to note why it is on hold.  

Yes, please!

We are operating in liquidation and invoices dated prior to a certain date are not to be paid but are also not yet to be cancelled.  They appear on the To Do list and it would be great if they could be easily excluded.  It would also be helpful if the invoice number was added to the To Do LIst and if you could print a report showing only marked invoices for checking off before clicking on Pay Bills.

I would definitely use this function as I have seen it in many other programs and it works well to be able to place supplier invoices on hold for payment until credit notes are received

That would so handy.  Currently I am entering HOLD beside the supplier invoice number.  Not great as I can still mistakenly pay it.  I need the invoice entered for reporting purposes but I need to hold payment until certain criteria are met.  

Hi,

I notice this idea was posted in March 2015. Has there been any progress towards including this in any new upgrades to the software?

This function would be so useful for us. Working in the construction industry I find I have to manually identify all queried invoices & either not enter them onto the system until they're resolved or write individual emails to keep finance notified of queried invoices until they are resolved, to maintain accurate cash flow forecasting & make sure they're not paid until the query is sorted.

If/when this is implemented it would also be useful to have the option on the Aged Payables report to exclude or include all held invoices.
