Cancel Maintenance Event
Explanation
This activity is used to cancel a planned or running maintenance event. When an event is in the
Incomplete or Under Preparation status, the event can be canceled without any additional validations.
However, when the event is in either the Released or Started status, the status of the underlying
task cards will be used to determine whether the event can be canceled or not. In such instances, it is only
possible to cancel an event if the underlying task cards are in the New, Released, Work
Started or Canceled statuses and no transactions have been performed against the task card.
To cancel a planned or running maintenance event, click Status and then click Cancel from the
Manage Maintenance Event page. If the event is in either the Released or
Started status, the Cancellation dialog opens. If the event is in a status other than
Released, Started, Work Done or Finished, the event will be canceled directly.The
information entered in the Cancellation Comment field in the dialog will be included in the CRS
Documentation: Work Canceled report.
Note: It is also possible to cancel an event from the Manual Maintenance Event page.
Prerequisites
- A valid cancellation cause must have been defined in basic data.
- You need to have access to the cancellation cause.
System Effects
- The event is canceled and the status of the event set to New. This event is disconnected from the
current maintenance order.
- If the event was in the Planned in Scope, Incomplete or Under Preparation status prior
to canceling, cancellation history will not be generated.
- If the event was in either the Released or Started status prior to canceling, a history record
will be generated in the Maintenance Event Cancellation History. The event will be shown as a Canceled
event on the maintenance order. If the canceled event is distributed with the distribution type Work Order
or Execution Logic Structure, an additional history record with the Canceled status will be
generated in the Historical Work Order in IFS/Work Order Management.
- If heavy maintenance contract is connected, connected contract details will be removed from the event.
- If the event being canceled is a non routine maintenance event that is connected to a heavy maintenance
contract, any non routine approval details connected will be removed from the event.
- The event becomes a pending event or a convenience task again and can be redistributed.
- If the event is canceled on a maintenance order with the Execution Logic Structure distribution type,
the task cards for the event will be removed automatically from the corresponding Execution Logic Structure
(ELS).
- If the serial is defined as a vehicle serial and the canceled event is the last running event (i.e., no other
events exist) for the serial, the vehicle condition of the serial is automatically set to the vehicle condition
code defined with the auto setting Set when last Mx event is finished. For more information, refer to the
activity Define Vehicle Condition.
- If the event being canceled is from a previous maintenance program or from an obsolete modification,
depending on the event type the due calculation for interval maintenance or modification will run automatically
for the serial to calculate new due dates and values.
