This forum is to discuss different features/issues of Oracle Financials modules ( GL - General Ledger, AP - Accounts Payable, AR - Accounts Receivable, FA - Fixed Assets & CM - Cash Management ).
When ever there is an exception between the Purchase order and the Actual receipt in purchasing module.
Usage of this hold depends on the setups in purchasing module, it is no where related to AP, only holds are placed in Payables Module.
Also this is not a system Hold, it can be manually released.
