Blocking Invoices

When an invoice is blocked, Financial Accounting cannot pay the invoice. The invoice

must first be released in a separate step before it can be processed. An invoice can be

blocked for payment due to one of the following reasons:

·

Variances in an Invoice Item

·

Amount of an Invoice Item

·

Stochastic Block

·

Cash discount and blocked invoices: When an invoice is blocked, the period in which the

vendor grants a cash discount may end before the invoice is released. In this case,

blocking the invoice would be a disadvantage, since the payment program cannot

deduct the cash discount. To avoid this, you can update the baseline date for payment

when you release the invoice, so that the cash discount periods can be shifted forwardsManual Block
