For auditing purposes, you cannot always delete work orders.
If you cannot delete a specific work order, you can stop all action
on a work order by changing the status to canceled.
If you want to delete a work order and its child work orders, the
work order and its children must meet the following criteria:
- Have a status of waiting for approval.
- Not have any transactions registered against it, except for status
changes.
- Not have any actuals reported against it.
- Not have any labor assignments associated with it.
- Not have any measurements or meter readings taken against it.
- Not have been generated for a purchase order or receipt.
- Not have any failures reported against it.
- Not be in a workflow or have ever been in a workflow.
- Cannot have been created by a preventive maintenance generation.
- Cannot be follow-up work or have follow-up work.
To delete a work order, use the action.
