# Put transactions on hold

When you put a transaction on hold, POS saves and then exits the incomplete transaction. You have the option to recall the transaction at a later date to complete it and tender the sale. For example, you might put a transaction on hold if a customer forgot their wallet in their car and has to run to their car to retrieve it. You can continue to process transactions for other customers in line until the customer returns with their wallet and you can tender the sale.

{% hint style="info" %}
You must have the **Allowed to put transactions on hold** permission to put a transaction on hold in POS.
{% endhint %}

1. Complete as much of the transaction as possible.
2. Tap **Transaction** | **Hold**.
3. If prompted, enter an **On Hold Comment** and tap **OK**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rmhpos.com/readme-1/advanced-transaction-tasks/transactions-putting-hold.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
