How to Block Sales to Customers Items from Sales or Purchasing

You can block a customer, for example because of insolvency, so that the customer cannot be added to sales documents or so that no transactions can be posted for the customer.

In addition to blocking a customer, you can set receivable transactions for the customer to be on hold in connection with reminders. For more information, see Collect Outstanding Balances.

The following table describes the different blocking options.
