What does the 'Hold' task do in supplier invoice workflows?

The 'Hold' task in supplier invoice workflows serves as a crucial checkpoint in the invoice processing sequence. When an invoice is placed on hold, it allows for further review before the invoice moves forward in the workflow. This is particularly important in situations where additional information or clarification is needed regarding the invoice details, such as discrepancies in amounts, missing documentation, or concerns over pricing.

By utilizing the hold feature, users can prevent the invoice from being processed until the necessary reviews are conducted, ensuring that any issues are addressed and resolved. This process helps maintain accuracy in financial records and aids in effective communication between departments that handle invoice approvals and payments.

The other options describe actions that the hold task does not perform. Cancelling the invoice or changing the invoice amount indicates final actions, while the approval of the invoice suggests that the workflow moves to the next step, which is not the function of placing an invoice on hold. Hence, the purpose of the hold is to pause and clarify rather than to finalize or alter the invoice status.
