You are returned to the Units tab of the Interactive Billing form, where you see the following:

  • If you entered a portion of the units to hold, the original transaction is split in two. A new transaction displays in the Units grid with a Hold status and shows the number of units to hold and not bill on the current invoice. The original transaction with its original status displays in the grid with its number of units reduced to reflect the units being held.
  • If you did not change the prefilled number of units for the transaction, the transaction displays in the Units grid with its original number of units, and its status changed to Hold. You cannot add this transaction to the current invoice.
Cancel Click this button to return to the Units tab without holding the any of the transaction. The transaction remains in the grid on the Units tab with its original status and unit quantity.
