Understanding Orders on Hold

You can place an order on hold to prevent it from being processed. You might place an order on hold for reasons such as:

• You have yet to settle prices and terms with the supplier.

• You are not sure if you want to use the supplier.

• The supplier's minimum order amount is not being met.

• The order exceeds the budget.

You cannot print or receive orders on hold. You must release the hold to continue processing the order. To release an order on hold, you must have the correct password.

When you place an order on hold, you prevent it from being processed. You might want to put an order on hold if you have yet to reach price negotiations with the supplier or if the order exceeds budget.

Two types of order holds are available: budget holds and regular holds. Budget holds are for orders that exceed the budget. Regular holds are for all other holds.
