# AR Invoice Dispute Hold Register

## Inputs
The open receivables list, dispute notes, hold flags and the collection schedule.

## Workflow
1. List open receivables with dispute or hold status.
2. Match each hold to a documented dispute reason and date.
3. Flag holds without a reason and disputed invoices still in collection sequences.
4. Return the register without contacting customers.

## Output contract
Invoice | amount | hold | reason | in sequence | reviewer

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional ledger: 22 open invoices; 4 carry holds, 1 hold has no documented reason and 1 disputed 68,000 invoice still appears in the dunning sequence. Flag 2 records.

## Review gates
Re-check the dispute note date against the sequence run date. The register informs collections; it never pauses or sends dunning.
