Keep the held ingredient distinct from material approved for use and record the reason and decision owner. Replan the batch or approve a suitable alternative through the business’s review process. The production record must retain the actual ingredient identity and avoid treating physical presence as evidence that the material is released.
Understand the decision
A sample seasoning batch is scheduled while a received spice lot awaits a required review. Another lot is available but has a different supplier reference. The planning team needs a clear decision without pressuring the receiver to make the held stock appear usable simply to satisfy demand.
Work through the requirements
- Identify the held lot and required decision.
- Review available alternatives with the responsible owner.
- Update production only after documented release.
| Record or decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hold record | State reason and release owner. |
| Alternative review | Explain any approved substitution. |
| Consumption record | Preserve the actual ingredient lot. |

Watch for this failure
Moving held material to a different shelf is insufficient if planners still treat it as usable. Test the operational availability decision as well as physical segregation, and have the quality owner validate the chosen control.

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
