Put Sub Contract on Hold

Explanation

This activity is used to put a sub contract on hold. Sometimes a sub contract must be put on hold. There can be a number of reasons for this, e.g., the supplier needs more time before making a decision, the sub contractor ran out of money or has decided not to go for the contract at the moment. Regardless of the reason, putting a sub contract on hold is merely information in addition to the sub contract status.

Once the contract is on hold, a warning message will be displayed when you are changing the status of the sub contract. A warning message will also be displayed, when you try to approve an existing valuation whilst the sub contract is on hold.
