Uses of hold codes

You can use hold codes to prevent an order from further processing. For example, if you place a released order on hold, then the order is prevented from printing on the pick list. Or, if you place a printed order (an order with a shipment) on hold, then you cannot perform shipping feedback until this hold is removed.

You can assign hold codes to an order, or to an order line, and then remove the hold codes with the same forms they were assigned on.

In addition to hold codes you assign, certain hold codes are assigned automatically by the application.

You can only remove many of these automatic hold codes using a few special forms. See Removing hold codes from customer orders.

Hold codes are defined during Accounts Receivable setup. For more information, see the Accounts Receivable User Guide.
