Hold Material#

🔒 Material.Hold

Overview#

This transaction puts a Material on hold. A Material on hold cannot be moved into/from any Step and Resource, and the operations that can be performed on the Material are very limited.

Info

This transaction is available for multiple Materials from the Resource and Step View. For more information, see the FabExplorer page.

You can also Mass Hold Materials from the Quality menu, by selecting the Material Holds entity. For more information, see Mass Hold Materials.

Supports Smart Barcodes

You can use Smart Barcode Scanning to perform this operation.

Setup#

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Note

The Hold Reason(s) must be associated with the Step of the current Material.

Preconditions#

  • Material is Active and not In Transit.
  • Material is a topmost Material.
  • A Material cannot be placed On Hold twice for the same Reason, that is, the Material is not already On Hold for the same Reason.
  • The Reason must be of type Hold, it must exist and be active, and it must be defined for the Step of the Material.
  • It is possible to put various Materials on hold for the same Hold Reasons. This means Materials, via their Steps, should have at least one Hold Reason in common.

Info

When the Parent Material is put on hold, all Sub-materials are also placed on hold.

Sequence of Steps#

Step 1#

  1. Optionally, verify the Material information.
  2. Select the Reasons why the Material should be put on hold. The Hold Reasons are defined at the Step level.
  3. Optionally, enter a hold Label (useful for mass holds as it identifies materials that were put on hold at the same time).
  4. Optionally, enter a Comment.
  5. Optionally, enter a Release Code. If defined, for the normal Release you will need to provide the Release Code.
  6. Optionally, define a Release Role. A Release Role can only be defined if the Hold Reason itself does not predefine a Release Role. If defined, only users from that Role will be able to release the Material.
  7. Optionally, select the Apply to All button. This button will only be active if there is more than one valid reason and if selected, properties will be copied to other reasons.
  8. Optionally, enter a Comment.
  9. Select Hold to complete the operation.

Info

The Release Code is only visible in a human readable form in the hold transaction. Be sure to remember it. If this code is forgotten, it is necessary to use the Complete Release Material transaction.
