Holding Orders from the Lab

If an invoiced order is in Ready status, you can prevent it from being sent to the lab by selecting the Lab on Hold action in Material Orders. Holding an order from the lab changes the order's status to Lab on Hold. When you are ready to send the order to the lab, select Release to Lab. For more information, see Releasing a Single Order to the Lab.
