A supplier invoice migration to IFS Cloud 24R2 uses the standard External File Template with Template ID STDSIN2. Some of the legacy invoices are on hold, and the same hold status and hold information should exist in IFS after the migration.
Can the hold be applied during the load with STDSIN2? If not, is there another way to place a large set of migrated invoices on hold in a single process or batch?

Area: External Supplier Invoice, data migration.

Answer from an IFS employee (not marked as best answer; not confirmed by the poster):
The hold cannot be loaded through the external file template. The hold option on a supplier invoice belongs to the installment section of the invoice. In the SIN1 template, record type N carries the installments, but the external file template has no attribute for the hold.
You can check this yourself by trying to add an attribute to your template: the hold attribute is not offered.
Suggested alternatives (not tested in the thread): set the hold afterwards with a migration job that updates that attribute, or with a script.
Prerequisites and limitations
Reported on IFS Cloud 24R2 with External File Template STDSIN2. The migration job and script options are only suggestions; the thread gives no specific job or script. Any bulk update of invoice installments should be tested in a non-production environment first.
