# Invoice Finalization Failure Payment Hold

Separate a created invoice from a finalized and collectible invoice.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Invoice/event IDs, created/finalized/failure receipts, last_finalization_error and automatic_tax status.

## Workflow
1. Order supplied receipts for the same invoice without assuming creation means finalization.
2. Record Stripe finalization-failure boundary: payment collection is blocked for that invoice.
3. Keep requires_location_inputs distinct from failed and preserve missing error detail.
4. Return engineer-review questions without finalizing, retrying or charging.

## Output contract
invoice | created | finalized | failure | error | tax_status | collection_hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional I1 has invoice.created then invoice.finalization_failed with requires_location_inputs. Creation does not prove payment was attempted or declined. Hold collection and location-source review; no customer contact or retry.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
