How to use On Hold Invoices

At any point after you have started a new sale (invoice), you may put it On-Hold in order to do something else in Insight. When you first enter the Sales screen, or after you have completed an invoice or put an invoice on hold, you may bring up a list of the invoices currently on hold and choose one to work with.
