Cancel Work Orders

Work orders that have been issued can be canceled, indicating that they no longer should be acted upon. Changing a work order to canceled places it into a general closed state. Once a work order has been canceled, it can be accessed at a later date and reissued.

If parts have been recorded on a work order, it is important to modify or delete these records before the work order is canceled to ensure proper inventory records are maintained. On hand inventory is updated when actual parts are recorded. These records should be updated to reflect that the part was not used.

1. Locate the work order you want to cancel.

2. Ensure you are on the Details, Tasks, Costs, or Attach page.

3. Click the Action button next to the word Status in the upper-right part of the page.

4. Select Cancel from the menu that appears.

   You may be prompted to enter information into the Labor Report explaining the reason for the cancellation.

5. Enter clarifying information as needed.

6. Click Apply.

   The status is changed to Cancel. It is not necessary to save this change.
