Invoice Block extension: pause invoice posting during close or maintenance

The Invoice Block extension gives you a simple way to temporarily freeze invoice posting across your whole company. When you need to pause invoicing — say while you close the books — you set a message, and NexerIQ politely stops anyone from posting new invoices until you lift it. No code, no scrambling, just one switch you control.

What it adds

  • A company-wide block — while a block message is set, every attempt to post an invoice is rejected, so nothing slips through during a sensitive period.
  • A message your team sees — when someone tries to post, they see the exact message you wrote, so they know why posting is paused and what to do.
  • An instant on/off switch — set the message to block, clear it to unblock. Posting resumes the moment the message is empty.

Who it's for

Finance and accounting teams who need a dependable way to hold invoicing still during a defined window. It's a natural fit for month-end or year-end close while accounts are being finalised, maintenance windows while you migrate or upgrade, and audit periods when invoicing should stay locked until a review is complete.

Good to know

The block is a temporary freeze, not a permanent rule — it stays in effect only while a message is set, so remember to clear it when you're ready to invoice again. Everything else in NexerIQ keeps working as normal; only new invoice posting is held.
