Accounts

Apply or release the account credit hold

Applies or releases the credit hold on an account. Delegates to the canonical setCreditHold writer (utils/credit-hold-helpers.mjs), which owns the single SSOT path for every flip of accounts.is_credit_hold (Rule 23).

Side effects on apply (on_hold: true):

accounts.is_credit_hold = true
For every open sales order on this account (order_status IN ('draft','open','processing','awaiting_ach_clearance')), sets orders.is_credit_hold_blocked = true and credit_hold_blocked_at = NOW(). The orders_credit_hold_sync CHECK constraint enforces the pair stays consistent.
Realtime broadcast account.credit_hold_changed with full payload + secondary account.updated broadcast.
activity_log entry with action account_credit_hold_changed.

Side effects on release (on_hold: false):

accounts.is_credit_hold = false
Clears is_credit_hold_blocked / credit_hold_blocked_at on every order still carrying the flag for this account.
Same broadcast + activity log shape.

Idempotent: a re-POST that matches the current state returns 200 with changed: false and emits no new broadcast or activity row.

is_credit_hold is intentionally readOnly on the Account schema and BLOCKED by the PATCH allowlist on PATCH /v1/accounts/{id} (returns 422 forbidden_field). This dedicated action endpoint is the SSOT write surface, mirroring NetSuite’s creditHoldOverride writable field on the customer record.

Requires accounts:write scope.
