Assign User Access to Cancellation Causes

Explanation

This activity is used to assign cancellation causes to the selected user.

When canceling a maintenance task you can only use the causes assigned to you. Therefore, you must have access to a minimum of one cancellation cause to be able to cancel maintenance tasks in a workshop.

For work orders and work order operations, user access will only be used if the USE_CNCL_CAUSE_ACCSS object property is set to TRUE when canceling a work order or an operation on a work order. If the value of this object property is FALSE, you can view all the cancellation causes.

Prerequisites

• Users must have been defined.
• Canceling causes must have been defined.

System Effects
