Hold Field

Each batch receivable has a Hold field for determining whether the receivable can be posted. This field is in Receivable Data section of the Batch Receivables - Detail page.

  • If the box is selected, the receivable is on hold and cannot be posted.

  • If the box is blank, the receivable can be posted.

To determine the status of a receivable, display the receivable in the List section, and then view its Hold Status field.

  • If the field is blank, the receivable is not on hold and can be posted.

  • If the field displays On Hold, the receivable can only be posted by releasing it first.

There are two ways to clear a batch receivable's Hold field:

  • Display the receivable in the Batch Receivables - Detail page, clear the Hold field, and then click OK to save the change.

  • Display the Batch Receivables page, select a batch, click Release, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog. This clears the Hold fields for all receivables in the batch.
