Accruals: On-Hold Period

🔹 What Does the "Accruals On-Hold" Setting Do?

✔️ Prevents invoice review during the on-hold period.
✔️ Invoices are processed as usual but remain in an on-hold status.
✔️ Once the new month starts, invoices automatically move to pending and can be reviewed normally.


📅 When Is the On-Hold Period?

📌 The on-hold period occurs between:
🔹 The accrual submission deadline
🔹 The first day of the new month

For example: an accruals submission deadline of May 27th means the on-hold period will be active from May 28th through May 31st. Invoices submitted during that period will not be processed until June 1st.


📊 How Does Accruals On-Hold Affect Reporting?

📍 The Accruals Report includes a separate field for on-hold invoices, allowing the finance team to:

  • Isolate on-hold invoice spend for better analysis.
  • Prevent double-counting when accruals and on-hold invoices overlap.

💡 Billing Best Practices

Vendors should avoid submitting invoices during the on-hold period to ensure smooth financial processing. However, if they do submit invoices during the on-hold period, they will see their status as "Ebilling on Hold," indicating the invoice will not be processed until the on-hold period ends.
✅ The Accruals On-Hold setting acts as a safeguard, ensuring vendors follow best practices.
