Hints and tips
Run this report before running the UO Open Purchase Orders Report to release any holds before attempting to resolve any Purchase Orders that are still 'Open'.
Where possible, holds should be removed by the system, eg. "Qty Received" hold will automatically be closed when the PO is receipted. Manual intervention should only be used in exceptional circumstances, eg. "Not matched to a PO" where the supplier is on the acceptions list.
