For Service Line,  if have multiple invoices but would like to hold one of the invoice then you must request Accounts Payable to hold or cancel the invoice before you create receipt. For example, you have  3 invoices in status, pending receipt in Workday, and you only want to process invoices 1 and 3 and not create receipt for the invoice #2, then you should request Accounts Payable to place invoice 2 on hold before creating the receipt for invoices 1 and 3.
