Cancel Maintenance Event

Explanation

This activity is used to cancel a planned or running maintenance event. When an event is in the Incomplete or Under Preparation status, the event can be canceled without any additional validations. However, when the event is in either the Released or Started status, the status of the underlying task cards will be used to determine whether the event can be canceled or not. In such instances, it is only possible to cancel an event if the underlying task cards are in the New, Released, Work Started or Canceled statuses and no transactions have been performed against the task card.

Prerequisites   

• A valid cancellation cause must have been defined in basic data.
• You need to have access to the cancellation cause.

System Effects

• The event is canceled and the status of the event set to New. This event is disconnected from the current maintenance order.
• If the event was in the Planned in Scope, Incomplete or Under Preparation status prior to canceling, cancellation history will not be generated.
• If the event was in either the Released or Started status prior to canceling, a history record will be generated in the Maintenance Event Cancellation History. The event will be shown as a Canceled event on the maintenance order. If the canceled event is distributed with the distribution type Work Order or Execution Logic Structure, an additional history record with the Canceled status will be generated in the Historical Work Order in IFS/Work Order Management.
• The event becomes a pending event or a convenience task again and can be redistributed.
• If the event is canceled on a maintenance order with the Execution Logic Structure distribution type, the task cards for the event will be removed automatically from the corresponding Execution Logic Structure (ELS).
• If the serial is defined as a vehicle serial and the canceled event is the last running event (i.e., no other events exist) for the serial, the vehicle condition of the serial is automatically set to the vehicle condition code defined with the auto setting Set when last Mx event is finished. For more information, refer the online help file Define Vehicle Condition.
• If the event being canceled is from a previous maintenance program or from an obsolete modification, depending on the event type the due calculation for interval maintenance or modification will run automatically for the serial to calculate new due dates and values.
