You use this activity to place an immediate hold or a future hold on one or multiple SFC numbers. An immediate hold affects the current status of the SFC number at its current operation. A future hold affects the SFC number when it is placed in a queue at the future hold operation.
Place a hold when you notice an issue with one or more SFC numbers and want to prevent them from being completed until the hold is released. Additionally, a hold may be placed on a material, routing, or shop order to prevent additional SFC numbers from being released until the issue is resolved.
For more information, see Placing a Hold on SFC Numbers.
To be placed on hold, an SFC number must have one of following statuses:
New
Active
In Queue
For more information, see SFC Number.
Note
You can place multiple holds and future holds on the same operation by assigning a reason code (see Reason Code). The activity will also assign default reason codes when putting SFC numbers on hold or when assigning future holds, if one is not selected.
