• Key Concepts: 
  Place Hold is a feature in SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME) that allows users to temporarily suspend production of a certain item or material. This feature is useful when there is a need to pause production for any reason, such as quality control or a shortage of materials. Place Hold can be used to prevent further production until the issue is resolved. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Place Hold, users must first select the item or material they wish to suspend production of. Then, they must select the “Place Hold” option from the menu. This will suspend production of the item or material until the user manually releases it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Place Hold, it is important to remember that it only suspends production and does not delete any data associated with the item or material. This means that when the user releases the hold, production will resume from where it left off.
