Finish Maintenance Order

Explanation

This activity is used to manually finish a maintenance order.

Note: It is also possible to automatically set a maintenance order to the Finished status. To enable this automatic status-change you need to select the Automatically Finish Order check box on the maintenance order. When this check box is selected, the status of the maintenance order is set automatically to Finished when the last connected task on the order is set to either the Finished or Cancelled status.

Prerequisites

• A maintenance order in the Work Done status, where all included tasks are in either the Work Done or Finished status, must exist.
• If sign off requirements exist on the maintenance order and/or connected tasks, sign off must have been performed.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the maintenance order is finished and moved to history. If an Execution Logic Structure (ELS) has been created for the maintenance order, this ELS will be removed when the maintenance order is finished.
