Allow Approvers to populate a hold code and approve an invoice for posting.

There are many good accounting reasons why an invoice should be approved and posted as a valid open A/P, but the invoice should be put on hold pending a certain event (ie:  Paid when Paid, Compliance, Credit pending ...)  Sometimes the "hold code" reason is a Project Management / Operations decision and not something that accounting would know.  We do not want to give access to each and every reviewer to invoice setup.  This is a clerical function that should not be part of the reviewer's responsibility, but putting an invoice on hold is clearly within the realm of our PMs/ Ops job description.  What seems to be happening now, is PM's are reluctant to approve invoices where there are open issues, but an actual liability does exist.  The invoice remains in unapproved invoices for an extended period of time causing delays in closing this sub module and creating understated liabilities, job cost and for percentage of completion contractors understated revenue recognition.
