Notice that the selected batch lists 52 each available (Avbl) and zero units on hold (OnHold).

When the Update Hold Qty button is selected for a batch, the Update Hold Status pop-up window populates with the P/N, S/N (if applicable), current available quantity, and current quantity on hold. Notice that the Update Hold Status dialog for the part populated 0.00 in the "Old Qty On Hold" field, which agrees with the inventory status shown above.

Only the New Qty On Hold field will be manually updated in this window. All other fields will be auto-populated based on the amount available in inventory and the preceding quantity placed on hold, if any.

Enter the quantity of the part to be placed on Hold in the New Qty On Hold field. Once saved, the Available quantity will be updated to reflect the quantity that was placed on Hold.

For this example, six (6) each units are being placed on Hold. Enter 6.00 and press the Save button to save the transaction.

Once the transaction is saved, the six units will be listed On Hold. Notice that the Part Number now lists the six units under the OnHold column. There will be a corresponding change in the quantity of units listed as Available (Avbl) in inventory.

To readjust the quantity of parts in an On Hold Status, select the Update Hold Qty button again and enter the new quantity to hold against the quantity in inventory. This transaction can be repeated or adjusted as often as required.
