This field is highlighted if the credit limit is exceeded. An authorised employee must then take necessary actions to release it for further processing.

Note: This field cannot display amounts greater than 9999999999,999. If the amount exceeds this value, then only the last 10 digits will be displayed.

Note: Only the displayed value will be truncated. The full amount will be correctly updated to the database.

Line
Indicates the order/quotation line number.



RC
This field is used to identify the reason why the order/quotation line must be held. Enter a value from the Order held reason codes table. Note: The code that you select must allow the order/quotation to be released manually. (The Manual release parameter (from the Order held reason codes table) must be set to YES.)

The following order held reason codes are pre-loaded in the system:

Release handler
Enter a code to identify the employee responsible for releasing the order/quotation or the order/quotation line.
Restriction
If the order held reason code 30 (sales restrictions exist) is entered in RC on this panel, indicate in this field the sales restriction type that applies. Sales restrictions are defined in the Sales restriction table. The severity code on the sales restriction type dictates the severity of the hold. See Work with restricted sales for more information.
