Order Holds

These processing options activate order hold processing.

1. Credit Check Hold Code

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that specifies the credit hold code that the system uses to automatically compare the credit limit that you set up for the customer in the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) against the order and any outstanding balances in accounts receivable.

You define the conditions that the system uses to place orders on hold in the Order Hold Information program (P42090) and attach those conditions to a hold code.

You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate order hold processing.

2. Partial Order Hold Code

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that the system uses to hold an entire order if quantity is not available to fill an order detail line.

You must enter the partial order hold code for backorder release to release the hold when the order is completely filled. The system can then release and remove the hold according to information in the Customer Billing Instructions, Item Master Information, Item Branch/Plant Information, and Branch/Plant Constants forms. If you do not enter a correct partial hold code, the backorder release does not release the held order.
