How do I fix "My hold won't apply" in Oracle Fusion?

1. Check the line's state: actively executing a task → wait for the wait state 2. In error recovery → fix + recover FIRST, then apply the hold 3. Then re-apply, through the same UI/service that failed

My hold won't apply

Two gates decide whether a hold lands: the line must be in a WAIT state (between tasks, you can't hold a task mid-flight), and the line must not be in error recovery (error recovery outranks everything). Miss either and the hold request itself errors.

Root cause

Holds need a waiting line; error-recovery lines refuse hold requests outright.

How to fix it

Check the line's state: actively executing a task → wait for the wait state
In error recovery → fix + recover FIRST, then apply the hold
Then re-apply, through the same UI/service that failed
