Quality Hold

Definition

A temporary stop placed on inventory that may not meet quality or safety standards. Product on quality hold cannot ship to customers until it is inspected and released or designated as waste, spoilage, or write-off.

How It's Calculated

Example

A snack manufacturer places 20,000 bags of chips on quality hold after a metal detector alarm signals a potential contamination issue.
