In many organizations, vendor records must undergo internal reviews (e.g., due diligence, tax ID verification, or approval from Procurement and Compliance) before they can be used in financial transactions. Currently, when a vendor is created in D365FO, it is immediately available for posting purchase orders or invoices unless manually placed on hold. This creates a risk that unverified or unapproved vendors may be used prematurely.

The requirement is to automatically place all newly created vendors on hold until they are reviewed and explicitly released by authorized personnel.

Proposed System Behavior: When a new vendor record is created in D365FO, the vendor hold status should default to “All”.
