Handling blocked suppliers/customers

In some financial systems, you can mark suppliers and customers as blocked or inactive for various reasons, and there may be office routines for handling such suppliers/customers . For example, if a supplier is involved in negotiations, you might want to make sure that no invoices are processed for that supplier until an agreement is reached. To help manage issues like this, Kofax AP Essentials can mark blocked suppliers/customers with an icon () during verification, so you can make better decisions when choosing suppliers/customers .

How it works

When you choose a supplier, for example, during verification, a list of suppliers appears in the Supplier box. Blocked suppliers are marked with an icon (). If you select a blocked supplier, a warning dialog appears; however, you can choose to ignore the warning. If you process documents using accounts receivable processes, this process is the same for customers.

In this example, you see that the Construx Blocks supplier is blocked.
