Putting materials on hold in Power Pick is valuable for managing inventory quality and safety. You can update the hold status of Materials in Power Pick through two primary methods: a Data Pull integration or a direct API connection.
To put items on hold, you'll need to update these fields on either the Material table, or the Location Content Breakdown table:
| Field Name | Value Type | Description |
| Is Blocked | Integer | Set to 1 to activate the hold; 0 to release it. |
| Block Reason | String (Text) | Enter the reason for the hold for visibility in Power Pick. |
Creating a Hold at the Material Level
If you need to block a material across the entire system, you can update the Material record. This ensures that no matter where the material is located, it cannot be picked.
Creating a Hold at the Location Level
If you only need to block a material in a specific location, you can update that Material via the Location Content Breakdown.
For comprehensive instructions on creating holds directly within Power Pick, refer to this helpful article.
