03/05/2021, 5:12 PMIt appears that we can put a customer on payment hold by choosing ON for the Hold field on the customer record. Can we do the same on the vendor record too? Put a hold on the vendor record so that we block payments made against the vendor.

03/05/2021, 5:23 PMThere's a field on the vendor bills : PAYMENT HOLD that can be checked. You could always add a custom field to the vendor - and then check that box on the bill with a scheduled workflow- of course - that's something that would require the period to be open, or for non posting edits to be allowed

03/05/2021, 5:25 PMFrankly - in the event of a dispute large enough to say "i'm not paying the vendor for this until we resolve it" I'm probably going to the effort of allowing non posting edits in the period and then selecting the bills impacted.

03/05/2021, 5:29 PMThats a great answer, thanks @KevinJ of Kansas. I was curious as to why you can put customers on mass hold, but not for vendors. Have a great weekend pal.
