Overview
ApprovalMax provides an On Hold functionality to manage requests that require a temporary suspension. 



QuickBooks Online
What does On Hold Mean?
The On Hold status allows you to pause a request without cancelling it. This is useful when:
• You need to gather more information
• You want to postpone a request until a later date



The corresponding comment is added to the audit log.


Such requests won't be up for approval/rejection unless the respective person revises the On Hold status and returns the request to On Approval.

Important note: The approval steps are not reset when a request is removed from the On Hold status. So, the request will resume the approval process from the point where it was paused.

Who can put a request On Hold?
  1. Account Owner
  2. Organisation Administrator
  3. Requester
  4. Approver

On Hold status: restrictions and impact

When a request is placed On Hold, the following restrictions apply:
  1. Manual approval, rejection, editing and revoking a decision is not possible
  2. Manual restart: requests with this status cannot be included in the restart of a workflow

    Please note: If changes have been pulled from the GL, requests will be restarted and remain in the On Hold status. If a request On Hold is subject to auto-approval, it will be automatically approved upon meeting the auto-approval criteria.
