Deleting a Work Order

This section explains how to delete an entire work order.

Deleting a work order permanently erases the work order and all of its tasks from the system. You will not be able to delete a work order or work order task if it:

•	Contains posted labor, purchasing, or materials transactions

•	Is referenced by a purchase order

•	Was created from a standard job

•	Was created as the result of an indicator alarm acknowledgment

•	Contains posted indicator readings

To Delete a Work Order

1.	Select the site’s Work Management view, Work Orders tab.

2.	Select the Work Orders tab, and right-click the work order and select Delete. APM asks you to confirm the deletion.

3.	To keep the work order, click No. To delete the work order, click Yes.

If you clicked Yes, APM tries to delete the work order. If the work order cannot be deleted, APM displays a message stating the reason.

If you cannot delete the work order, you may want to cancel it instead. See Canceling a Work Order.
