When you click the remove hold button on a purchase order, the system creates a Remove Hold (PORH) document. This document allows you to remove the hold from a PO document and allow processing of payment requests. The remove hold button is available only on the PO documents with 'Payment Hold' status. You must enter a reason when removing the payment hold.
Removing a payment hold changes the Purchase order status back to 'Open'. No G/L pending entries are generated from this document.
The document layout of the PORH document is identical to that of the original PO, with an additional notation regarding the status in the Document Header. A notation also displays at the top of the PO document, such as 'Warning: There is a pending action on this Purchase Order.'
For information about the fields on this document, see “Document Layout” under Purchase Order.
