Apply Hold to Item

(Available with Order Execution Mgt.)

Description

Apply Hold to Item places a named hold on the item at a particular location in a specified region.

Note:  Only items local to the current project are modified. You can apply this function block across multiple projects by entering a comma-delimited list of project names into the Project ID field and recompiling.

Important: A named hold is a special type of attribute that specifies the range in which the hold is active.  The item will actually be in hold state only when it physically enters the Hold Active Range.
