Hi, we used to use Quality Associations functionality in order to prevent the Vendor's Invoice vouching.

However, since most of our Raw Materials are no longer required to be tested, the Lab Team decided not to maintain and update the Quality Associations.

We tried Vendor On Hold feature, however, we need to prevent at Item Level.

So, I wonder if there is any alternative (standard or custom) way of preventing/blocking the Vendor Invoices posting when an Item is not approved or is being tested.

Thanks!

Armando, I would look at creating an AP Invoice policy, that would direct these invoices into a workflow queue, where the LAB TEAM (members of the queue) can release the invoice once that manual quality review is finished.  You would need to identify a field on the invoice line that would identify those items that need to be reviewed and create a policy review on the invoice line.

Hi Don, thanks for your input.

I'll give it a try, we just need to find a field that we can use for this purpose.
