Overview:

To prevent stock from being sold from your chosen Location/Store/Warehouse, you can put part or all of it on hold. The stock may need to be reserved for a specific client or quarantined for any reason.


As a result, units given are removed from your Stock In Hand account and placed on hold. Stock can be brought back to Stock In Hand by using negative numbers.
