Blocking orders

Automatic blocks can be placed on orders and quotes by the WebSphere Commerce system based on reasons programmed into the system. An automatically generated block remains on an order or quote until an administrator resolves the issue and removes the block. In addition, you can place a manual block on an order if you suspect a problem with the order based on existing guidelines from your supervisor. A manually generated block remains on an order or quote until you or another operator resolves the issue and removes the block.
