You can recover vendor invoices that have been in use for more than four hours from the Recover vendor invoices page. While a vendor invoice is in use, it cannot be edited by another user. There are times when an invoice might be in a state that is in use, even when it is not being actively edited.

A vendor invoice might be in use for the following common reasons:

• The application might have stopped responding while the invoice was being edited.
• A user might have inadvertently left the invoice open in the application.

The Recover vendor invoices page can be used to recover or release the vendor invoice, allowing it to be edited. Use the Accounts payable parameters page to enable the Recover vendor invoices page.
