TRAX MANUALS > Inventory > Inventory Module > Inventory, Update Menu > Inventory Transaction > Inventory Transaction Buttons > Hold Button, via Inventory Transaction

Selecting the Hold button allows users to place parts or tools from a specific batch on Hold. Consumable and Serialized parts that are in Available status can be placed on Hold.

When the Hold button is selected for a batch, the Update Hold Status pop-up window shows the P/N, S/N (if applicable), current available quantity, and current hold quantity of that batch.

Only the New Qty Hold field will be manually updated in this window. All other fields will be auto-populated based on the amount added in this field.

Enter the quantity of the part to be placed on Hold in the New Qty Hold field. Once saved, the Available quantity will be updated to reflect the amount of parts placed on Hold.

To bring partial quantity of parts off of Hold Status select the Hold button and input the quantity of parts in that batch that will continue to be on Hold. The number of parts in the Old Qty Hold field minus the number of parts entered in the New Qty Hold field will be the number of parts that come off Hold and return to Available status.

The following information/options are available in this window:
