I Can Not Delete Some BOMP Work Orders
Q - I am trying to delete a production order that was placed for a test run. Even though I have not started production against this work order, the system does not let me delete the work order. It gives me a message:
See sample screen below:
Please advise what prevents me from deleting this work order successfully?
A - A BOMP Production Work Order can have the following status:
- New - Note Allocated
- New - Allocated
- Work Order Printed
- Started (Plus Work Order Only)
- Partially Reported
- Complete
- Reopened (Plus Work Order Only)
It is possible to delete a work order once it is printed by using the "void" work order function: From BOMP menu -> Processing -> Print Production Work Order -> Print -> Plus/Material/Legacy Work Order -> Void. Once you void the printed work order, the work order status become "New - Allocated".
Once the work order is started, there's no way to delete the work order. In that situation, you will have to "close" the work order. To close a work order, you can go to BOMP menu -> Processing -> Production Transaction Processing -> Plus/Material/Legacy Work Order -> Add.
For Material/Legacy work order, you will need to add a production transaction with zero quantity, and indicate "Order Complete ?" = "Y".
For Plus Work Order, you will need to report against the last operation with zero quantity, and indicate "Order Complete ?" = "Y"
After post the production transaction, the work order will be closed (complete).
