Built as the default: closed sets (hold: Waiting on material, Waiting on purchasing / PO, Question for engineering or clerical, Drawing / BOM problem, Other with a note; short: Not in stock, On order, Back-ordered, Damaged / rejected, Wrong part received, Needs cutting / prep, Other).

To answer: keep, add reasons, or allow free text.


Plan reference: Q20 in docs/PLAN.md (open questions). Answer here; the build takes the default until then.

More detail, since you asked. These do not come from VISUAL.

A hold is when someone stops a packet (for example the warehouse or the shop cannot go on). A short is when the warehouse cannot pull a BOM line. In both cases the person picks a reason in Packet Station from a fixed list:

  • Hold: Waiting on material, Waiting on purchasing / PO, Question for engineering or clerical, Drawing / BOM problem, Other (needs a note).
  • Short: Not in stock, On order, Back-ordered, Damaged / rejected, Wrong part received, Needs cutting / prep, Other.

A fixed list lets the boards and reports group by reason. The old build took any typed text.

The question: keep these lists, add reasons (which?), or allow free text?
