When you put a PO on hold, the system creates a PO Hold (POPH) document, changes the PO status to 'Payment Held,' and prevents any payment request documents from being initiated against the PO. You must enter a reason when initiating the payment hold.
No G/L pending entries are generated from this document.
The document layout of the POPH document is identical to that of the original PO, with the addition of a notation regarding 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.
When you click the payment hold button to initiate the document, the system automatically inserts note text in the Notes and Attachments tab of both the original PO document and the POPH document.
The document becomes 'FINAL' when the POPH document is submitted.
Search for the PO from the PO search screen and open the PO.
Click.
Enter the reason for the hold.

Click when you see the confirmation message.
The system displays the Select/Acquire tab.
