Goal

Sometimes, you need to manually release "Insufficient Funds" hold and just want to pay the invoice. But you manually release it, the Invoice Validation put the hold on the invoice again. How to resolve this issue?

Fix

Here is the workaround that you can use to manually release "Insufficient Funds" hold:

1) Go to GL Responsibility,

Budgets->Define->Controls,

create a new group:

Group = Override,

Description = for Budgetary Control Override,

Source = Other,

Category = Other,

Funds Check Level = None,

Override Amount = 1,000,000,000,

save it.

 

2) System Administrator Responsibility,

query on Profile Option = 'Budgetary Control Group',

set the profile = 'Override' for User = 'SYSADMIN' / or another user.

 

3) Login the application as SYSADMIN / or another user,

go to AP Responsibility,

Invoices->Entry, 

query on the invoice,

validate the invoice,

the invoice will be validated without "Insufficient Funds" hold.
