How do I put a hold on a shipment?

Here are all the ways you can put a hold on a shipment in the WMS module.

In WMS, under Sales Order > Shipments, search for your desired shipment by entering in whatever information you wish to search by and then clicking SearchNote that the Create Date fields will be automatically populated in case you need to clear it before your search.

First Option: Mark Hold

Click the gear icon to the right of the shipment. Select Mark Shipped & Cancel & Hold.

From here, navigate to the Hold / Unhold Shipment tab. Here you will see a summary of the shipment. Click Hold Shipment.

You will be prompted to enter in a reason for holding the shipment. Enter one, then click Yes.  

Second Option: Hold Through Shipment ID

From the Shipments search results screen, click on the hyperlinked Shipment ID

From here, navigate to the Hold / Unhold Shipment tab. Here you will see a summary of the shipment. Click Hold Shipment.

You will be prompted to enter in a reason for holding the shipment. Enter one, then click Yes

Third Option: Hold Through Shipment Detail

From the Shipment Detail page, you can click Hold Shipment.

You will be prompted to enter in a reason for holding the shipment. Enter one, then click Yes

Fourth Option: Hold Through Order Detail

If you want even more information on the order overall, here is what you can do. From the Shipment search results page, click the gear icon next to the shipmentSelect Order Detail

This will show you all shipment details for the order as a whole (even if there are multiple shipments). From here, click Hold / Cancel on whichever shipment you want to hold. Select Hold Shipment
