Calrification on usage of Lot Hold days and Maturity days

Seeking clarification on usage of Hold days and maturity days for a lot? Apparently this does not prevent any transaction during the hold period. Are these two fields for information purposes purposes or do they restrict any activities? Our use case is to not be able to ship a lot until 24 hours of its receipt into inventory after production. One option at hand is to use material status at Lot level but we wanted to see if hold days for the lot would also work in this scenario.
