WO Control - Cancel Works Order
Works Orders can only be cancelled if no part of the Works Order has been built.
If the build has commenced, you should use the Build Works Order window to complete the Works Order at the current build level and return excess issued components to stock or write them off.
If no part of the Works Order has been built, any issued components can be returned to stock or written off using the Cancel Works Order facility and the Works Order can be cancelled.
Open the Works Order Control window from the Works Order Control option and use the Works Order Search to locate and display the Works Orders you wish to work with.
