Cancel Task Operations

Explanation

This activity is used to cancel an operation (instruction or subtask) connected to a task on the maintenance order.

If an instruction is to be cancelled, and the task it belongs to is in the Under Preparation status or an earlier status, all connected subtasks will be cancelled automatically. If the task is in the Released status or a later status, the connected subtasks will not be cancelled when canceling the instruction. In this case, the subtasks must be cancelled one by one.

Prerequisites

• Cancellation causes must exist.
• You must have access to use the cancellation cause when canceling an operation.
• Operations must exist on a task connected to a maintenance order that is in one of the following statuses: Under Preparation, Released or Started.
• If the operation exists as a work order operation, it cannot have any material, tools and facility usage or man-hour consumption recorded against it.

System Effects

• The operation is set to the Cancelled status, but will still remain on the maintenance order till it becomes historical.
• The given cancellation cause is retained on the operation.
• If operations are cancelled for a fault task on a maintenance order, the operations will be removed automatically from the operation list of the fault (in the Serial Operational Info/Fault/Operations tab).
• If the operation exists as a work order operation, the work order operation is set to the Cancelled status, and the cancellation cause is entered on the operation line.
