System Variable 897: Block Invoice Approval if the Job Contains Open Vendor Invoices

Use this System Variable to determine if a sales invoice should be approved while there are open vendor or creditor invoices on the job.

This System Variable is enabled by default. When it is enabled, you will not be able to approve sales invoices while there are open vendor or creditor invoices on the job. If you attempt to approve an invoice, an error message displays explaining that there are open vendor or creditor invoices and approving the invoice is not allowed. All vendor or creditor invoices on the job must be approved before proceeding.

Note: This setting only applies to final invoices and partial invoices.

You can view open creditor invoices in Jobs > Costs > Open Entries. All invoices must be approved in Finance & Administration > Creditors > Creditor Invoices and posted through Project Postings before they can be finalized.

It may be necessary to perform a refresh when modifying System Variable values.
