Open BPOs on Hold

A BPO with an "H" in the Action Status column means that the agency has placed the BPO on hold. When an order is placed on hold it cannot be invoiced. A hold can occur if there has been a novation. A novation is when the agency changes the vendor of a BPO to another vendor through a PO Upload. A PO Hold notification is sent to the vendor.
