Two small tools that save a lot of explaining.

Notes

A note is a remark on the invoice for whoever opens it next. No recipient, no answer expected. Use it for the things that are obvious to you today and a mystery in three months. “Price agreed by phone on 3 June.” “This supplier always invoices a month late.” Notes can be edited and deleted by the person who wrote them, and the invoice list can filter on invoices that carry one.
Need an answer? Use a question instead. A note goes nowhere by itself.

Holds

A hold parks an invoice exactly where it is. Everyone sees why, and automatic processing and reprocessing leave it alone until you release it. Reasons you can pick: You can add a note when you place the hold, and it shows on the invoice, in the list, and in the audit trail.
A hold does not hide the invoice. It stays in the list with a badge, because a forgotten invoice is worse than a visible one.

Releasing

Open the invoice and choose Release hold. The invoice continues where it left off. Bulk reprocessing skips invoices on hold, and tells you how many it skipped and why.
