# Manufacturing order holds Production stops for real reasons: a materials shortage, a quality problem, a customer change request. A hold records why, not just that. Every hold carries a reason and a timestamp, and stays visible on the manufacturing order through the order page and anywhere else its status shows up, so nobody has to ask why something stalled. ## Questions **What happens to a held manufacturing order?** It stops moving through production, and fulfillment stays blocked, until the hold is lifted. The reason and timing stay on record.
