From Business Central
Quality can also hold an order without the app. On the Released Production Order card, choose Process → Quality → Put on QC Hold, enter the reason and an optional comment, and choose OK. Release QC Hold sits next to it. The hold shows on the order’s General FastTab after Due Date.
A held order is blocked in BC itself, not only in the app. Consumption, output and capacity postings and Change Status to Finished are refused, wherever they come from.
