Cancel Maintenance Order
Explanation
This activity is used to cancel a maintenance order.
If this activity is performed on a maintenance order in the New, Initial Scope Definition or
Under Preparation status, the entire maintenance order will be canceled. This means that all connected
events will be canceled and detailed data, such as, task cards and execution logic structures, removed.
If the maintenance order is in either the Released or Started status, all connected events must be
in the Cancelled status before the maintenance order can be canceled. Furthermore, you are required to enter
a valid cancellation cause when canceling these maintenance orders. History records will be generated for released
or started maintenance orders that are canceled.
This activity can be performed from the Manage Maintenance Order page.
Prerequisites
- A maintenance order in a status prior to Work Done or Finished must exist.
- If a cancellation cause is required, the cause must have been defined in basic data. You must have access to
the cancellation cause.
System Effects
- If the maintenance order was in the Under Preparation status or an earlier status prior to canceling,
all connected events will be canceled, data on the order removed and the maintenance order will be deleted. The
canceled events can be redistributed.
- For maintenance orders that have been released or started, the maintenance order and all connected event will
be canceled and history records generated.
- If the maintenance order has the Execution Logic Structure distribution type, and an execution logic
structure (ELS) exists, this ELS will be removed when the maintenance order is canceled. This effect is valid for
maintenance orders that are in the following statuses: Initial Scope Definition, Under Preparation,
Released and Started.
