In previous versions one could apply an AP credit note to an AP invoice that is on hold.
In the newer versions the processing logic has been changed, an error message is displayed if you attempt to apply a credit note to and invoice that is on hold.
Now compare this to AP payment processing: you can apply a payment to an invoice that is on hold and post the payment. You do get a warning message that the invoice is on hold, but you can apply the payment and post it.
I think the logic is reversed: an AP invoice is placed on hold because the company does NOT want to pay the invoice and they may be expecting a credit note from the supplier. When that credit note is received from the supplier it should be possible to apply the credit note to the on hold invoice - without having to change the on hold status of the invoice.
