We use Inspection Hold to allow our Engineering/Biomedical Engineering departments to inspect equipment before allowing an invoice to be paid.

I would like to add another level of performance to hold an invoice i.e. if for a project, equipment can't be paid for until the project manager has verified that the entire project is on track even tho the inspection hold has been released.

Any ideas?

What do you mean by "on track"? Finacially? Is the project set up as an Activity? One alternative is to build workflow into your inspection process that handles the additional performance criteria. Using the delivered workflow for the Inspection process, "inspectreq.flo", you can customize your procedure to include additional criteria to pass/fail the inspection. In your case, this would be like adding additional levels of approval to the inspection process. Level 1 would be to approve the equipment meets physical inspection. Level 2 could be to approve addition performance criteria that you determine. You could have Level 3 and Level 4, etc. I would recommend this approach rather than any alternative that complicates the matching process any further.

At what point of the process do you indicate the "Inpection Hold" to "Y" - is it at receiving or when the PO is created? Thanks.

This flag can be set from the Requisition, PO or Receipt. Also, the flag may be defaulted from the Item Location IC12.
