Holding Orders
You might need to place an order on hold to be revisited at a later time. For example, suppose your supplier is out of stock and needs time to be able to verify availability for an expedite. In this situation, you can enter the order but place the order on hold until a specified date.
When the hold-until date expires, one of two things can happen for an order:
• When a hold-until date expires for an on hold order with planned values, the order becomes a regular order.
• When a hold-until date expires for an on hold order with no planned values, the order is deleted.
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.
