Cancel Work Order

Overview

Unfinished work orders can be cancelled at any time in the work order process. If a work order has been allocated or released, the component items will be un-allocated and the un-used components are received back into inventory. Additionally, the quantity of the finished good that was placed on order inventory is removed from the on order quantity for the finished good item. 

There is no provision for handling components that were used, but the finished good item was not completed. 

To Cancel A Work Order

1. Choose Cancel Work Order on the Fabrication submenu of the PRD menu.

2. Enter the number of the work order to be cancelled.

3. Enter the date the work order is cancelled. The current date is used as a default. This is the date that is used for inventory transactions if any un-used components will be brought back into inventory.

4. The components of the work order are displayed as well as the quantity used and quantity released. The quantity cancelled is the quantity of the component that will be received back into inventory and is the difference between the Quantity Released and Quantity Used.

The Quantity Used is filled in when work orders are closed. If a work order has been partially closed, you will see Quantity Used when cancelling a work order. 
In the above example, no finished good items were completed so all quantities of the components will be received back into inventory. 
The cost of the received items will be the same as when they were issued from inventory. 

    5. If necessary, modify the Quantity Cancelled for individual components to accurately reflect the components being returned to inventory.

    6. Click on the Process icon in the toolbar. Prompt displays to confirm you wish to cancel the work order. No report prints when cancelling a work order. There is a Cancelled Work Orders report, see the Reports section of this manual.
