Work Order Deletion Behavior

If you delete a work order, the work order and its jobs are deleted from the database. However, any production that has been entered for the work order is not deleted. Production history is maintained as it might be required, for example, for recall purposes.

Therefore, if a work order that had production reported against it is deleted, its production will still be included in the Total Production Count on the line Monitor page, even though it will not be included in the Word Orders in Period list.

Also, if a new work order is using the same work order ID as a deleted work order, any production that was reported against the old deleted work order will be associated with the new work order. For this reason, unless you are reinstating a work order that was deleted by mistake, you should avoid reusing work order IDs of deleted work orders.

To remove all information associated with a work order, including related production history, use the Purge function in MES Client instead of the Delete function described here.
