Place an Order On Hold
An order can be placed on hold to be revisited later. For example, suppose the supplier is out of stock and needs time to be able to verify availability for an expedited order. In this situation, you can enter the order and then place the order on hold until a specified date.
When an order is on hold, it can be processed just like any other order. For instance, you can edit it or approve it. When an on hold order is approved, the hold-until date is removed and the order is ready to be uploaded.
