Work orders can be placed on hold manually or automatically, by applying a particular hold type. Certain transactions can be configured to not process documents that are on a given hold. Likewise, modification types can be configured to not process documents that are on a given hold. By default, all transactions and modification types are allowed to process all documents for all hold types.
The transactions that can be prevented from processing work orders on a given hold type have the check box This Transaction Can Be Stopped From Processing Work Orders That Are On Hold checked in the Others tab of the transaction details. For more information about viewing transaction details, refer to the Configuring system-wide settings.
You can use the Hold Types branch to create, modify, or delete a Hold Type.
