  2. The device displays the list of all sales orders that are on hold, or the list of all sales held orders that the person logged into the application is responsible for releasing, on the Sales Held Order Review and Release home screen, based on the user preference of the mobile application.

    If you want to retrieve the list of orders for a specific address book number, enter the address book number in the Person Responsible field, and then tap the Search button. The device displays all orders assigned to the specific address book number.

  3. To narrow your search using filter fields, tap the Filter button at the top of the left pane. On the Filters screen, specify values in these fields to filter your records:

    • Person Responsible

    • Branch Plant

    • Customer

    • Order Number

    • Order Type

    • Hold Code

    • Order Date

    • Request Date

    • Promised Delivery Date

  4. To continue the search using the specified filter values, tap the Apply button. When you tap the Apply button, the system:

    • Takes you to the list of sales held orders that are displayed based on your filter values.

    • Saves the filter values that you entered.

      The next time you open the filter screen, the system displays the saved filter values.

    To discontinue the use of filter values in your search, tap the Cancel button. When you tap the Cancel button, the system:

    • Takes you to the list of sales held orders associated with the last saved filter values, if applicable.

    • Ignores the filter values that you entered, and restores the last saved filter values to the filter fields.

    To delete all filter values you specified, and to enter new filter values, tap the Clear button.

  5. The system returns you to the Held Order Review and Release screen with a list of sales held orders that meet your search criteria. The device displays the pie chart for sales held orders by hold code in the right pane. The system displays the order-level or line-level details based on the processing option setting of the application.

    Tap any record in the list to review the details for that record.
