What Is A Stochastic Block
A stochastic block is not set at item level, but for the whole invoice. If a stochastic block
is set when you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field
Payment block in the document header data; there is no blocking indicator in the
individual items.
- If the value of the invoice is larger than or the same as the threshold value, the degree
of probability that the invoice will be blocked is that of the percentage.
- If the value of the invoice is smaller than the threshold value, the degree of probability
that the invoice will be blocked is calculated proportionally to the percentage.
If, for example, the threshold value is $100 and the percentage 50%, every invoice over
$100 would have a 50% chance of being blocked; an invoice for $500 would have a
25% change of being blocked. If you want the degree of probability to be the same for
all invoices, you set the threshold value to zero.
If you enter a threshold value of zero and a percentage of 99.9%, all invoices would
then be blocked.
