Deleting Work Order with Associated Serial IDs
You can use either of the following functions to delete a work order:
Work Order Maintenance
Work Order Delete/Archive
When you delete a work order,
If the serial IDs linked with the work order are not associated with a sales order, the system deletes these serial IDs.
If the booked or new serial IDs linked with the work order are associated with a sales order, the system does the following:
Changes New serial IDs to Booked when there are New serial IDs associated
Clears the pack code, item, lot, reference, UM, and location for the serial IDs
Removes the link between the serial IDs and the work order
In both situations, the system also creates serial history records with Type, Begin Quantity, Quantity Change and Stage set to PCK-DEL, Zero, Zero, and Blank respectively. If the serial IDs are imported serial IDs, they remain in the import list of serial IDs and the system sets the Used field to No for them.
