Order Hold Codes

You can set up order hold information that the system uses to place orders on hold. The system applies this information if you set the appropriate processing options for the Sales Order Entry programs.

Additionally, you can use hold codes with the Product Allocation preference. This way, you can restrict the amount of an item or item group that a customer or customer group can purchase.

You must set up the Product Allocation preference in the Preference Master program (P40070), and activate the preference through the Preference Processing Options program (R40400). In the Order Hold Constants program (P42090), you set up the hold code in UDC 42/HC and define the hold information. In the processing options for the Sales Order Entry programs, you must enter the product allocation hold code to activate order hold processing at the line level and then activate preference profile processing.
