You can access this program from the following menus:
- the Sales tasks menu
- the Service order tasks menu (IBS Service must be installed and activated).
All held orders have reason codes assigned to them that indicate why they are being held. From this panel, you can create a new reason code, or assign an existing one to a held order.
Note: You can add or delete reason codes that have been manually entered and not orders that have been automatically held up by the system.

- Sales order line entry: If the CR-SOL (Credit control, order line) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done for every sales order line entered.
- Order settlement: If the Order settlement program is being used to settle an order using a credit card or advance payment, an order will be held until the selected payment is approved.
- Pick list printing: If the CR-PL (Credit control, pick list) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done when the handler prints a pick list for an order.
- Batch order hold function: If the CR-ODUE (Credit control, overdue) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done when the Batch order hold function is run. When this program is run, orders will be held for customers who have exceeded their overdue day/amount threshold set up for them in the Credit profile table.
