Add "ON HOLD" status to orders
A new "status" flag for orders (build, sales, purchase, return) which allows them to be marked as "on hold".
Not closed out, but designated as not currently active (perhaps waiting for input)

We would have to consider the allowed state transitions here. Have not yet fully thought it through
Hi,
would it also be possible to add In Test and Internal to the status for parts? I currently use Quarentine to identify if a parts is in test. so in my case Boards come in, then they are added to the stock but. they can only be sold once availeble. and prior to getting this order i run an intake test for each board. hence this status would be nice.
I think the default set of states should not be too large and each option should have business logic connected to it. So maybe one of the two options is fine but cluttering th UI with options that have basically the same function seems more confusing than helping.
Without a proper definition of the logic there is not enough info the dev something either way.
I would like to implement this soon, as I have a need for it. There are two potential ways to implement this, and I'd like some feedback on how we would like to see it done.
Option A: New Status Code
Add a new "ON_HOLD" status code to each type of order. This means that the order must transition to a new "ON_HOLD" state, which is very visible and the order cannot be "in progress" and "on hold" at the same time.
This would require careful consideration of state transitions for each order, but is probably (IMO) the more robust approach
Option B: Separate Field
Add a separate "ON HOLD" boolean field to the Order model, which is a simpler approach. However this is potentially confusing if the "on hold" flag is set for an order which is "complete" or "cancelled" etc.
Thoughts?
I would prefer option A as its more clear in its state. But in the end the importance for me is that we can simply filter them out in the overview
Met vriendelijke groet/ With kind regards, Martijn Broens

Without a full definition of the transitions and business logic behind them it is hard to tell which would be suited better but probably option A
