Item holds could only be done at an item/location/lot level before Release 24. Now you can put an entire Location on hold instead of going one item at a time in that Location!

'Q' only allows inventory movement because the UDC Special Handling is coded with 4. Oracle also made sure that the coding across the system honors the Location Holds first, before Lot-level holds.
To make inquiries even easier, Oracle also updated the Availability screens to reflect these holds with grayed out Availability:
