Deleting a Work Order Task

This section explains how to permanently delete a work order task.

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 Task

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

2.	On the Tasks tab, right-click the task you want to delete and click Delete. APM asks you to confirm the deletion.

3.	To keep the task, click No. To delete the task, click Yes.

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

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