Setting up the Invoice Block extension

Setting up the Invoice Block extension

This guide shows you how to switch on the Invoice Block extension and use it to pause invoice posting when you need to. For what the extension does and why you'd use it, see Invoice Block extension: what it does.

Install and enable

  1. Go to Settings → Marketplace Extensions.
  2. Find the Invoice Block card (search for "invoice block" if it's quicker), and click it to review the details and required permissions.
  3. Click Install to add it to your system.
  4. Click Enable. A configuration drawer opens on the right where you can set the block message — leave it empty for now and click Enable to switch the extension on without blocking anything yet.

Settings

Invoice Block has a single setting, available in the configuration drawer when you enable it and any time afterwards via Configure:

  • Block message — when this is non-empty, invoice posting is blocked and the message is shown to anyone who tries to post. Clear it to unblock. This field is optional, so leaving it empty simply means posting is allowed.

Using it day to day

Think of the Block message as your on/off switch:

  1. To pause invoicing, open the card, click Configure, type a clear message (for example, "Invoicing is paused for month-end close until the 3rd"), and click Save. From that moment, posting an invoice is rejected and your message is shown.
  2. To resume invoicing, open Configure again, clear the message so it's empty, and click Save. Posting works normally again right away.

To remove the extension entirely, open the card and click Uninstall, then confirm — this purges the extension's stored values, so make sure no block is needed first. To simply turn it off while keeping it installed, click Disable.

Tip: write a friendly, specific message that tells your team exactly when posting will be available again. That turns a blocked attempt into a clear heads-up rather than a mystery.
