Cancel Non-applicable Work

Explanation

This activity is used to make changes to a work scope for instances where work has become non-applicable or difficult to carry out. The reason for this can be, for example, that the work has become not applicable to perform for a serial because the serial is disconnected from the vehicle on which the maintenance order is to be performed or due to the lack of resources, tools and/or facilities.

Work orders can be canceled in the work order execution logic structure or you can cancel the corresponding task on the maintenance order. If the maintenance order is distributed with the Execution Logic Structure distribution type, you cannot cancel the work order directly, instead you need to cancel the relevant task on the maintenance order. This is because a task can be spread on several work orders and there is not just one corresponding work order to cancel.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, a maintenance order which has been released must exist.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the work order and the corresponding task will be canceled from the work scope and removed from the work order execution logic structure and the maintenance order.
