Cancel a Works Order when it is no longer needed.
After a Works Order has been cancelled, nothing more can be done with it.
When an order is cancelled, any allocated component stock is unallocated.
If stock has been issued to the order it can either remain issue, or be returned to stock as the order is cancelled.
You cannot cancel a Completed or Part Complete works order; they must be Closed.
To close a Part Complete order without fully completing it, use the Complete Works Orders screen and tick the Complete option to complete the order regardless of quantity completed. Leave the To Complete Qty at zero if there are no more left to complete. This prompts you to return any unused stock, changes the status to Completed and allows the order to be Closed.
If the order is linked to a Sales Order or another Works Order a warning advises of this, but the cancellation can continue.
