Canceling Range of Production OrdersIntroduction Sometimes, you need to dispose of multiple production orders, for example, in the following situations:
Materials If you remove production orders, LN can perform one or more of the following additional actions, depending on user settings and conditions described later:
Cancel the issue of materials If you remove a production order, LN tries to cancel the outbound process for the production order's materials. Note that LN cannot always cancel this process; that also depends on the setting of the warehousing functionality. Return issued materials If you select the Return issued Materials check box, LN tries to return the materials that had already been issued. Note however, that the warehousing functionality does not always permit the return of issued materials. Set production order to Completed In some situations, LN can no longer delete a production order, or example, if hours have been reported for the production order. In that case, you can change the production order status to Completed and set the quantity completed to zero. If some production orders cannot be deleted or canceled, and you selected the Complete remaining Orders check box, LN sets those production order to Completed. If LN sets production orders to deleted, LN also tries to cancel the issuing of materials and optionally tries to return issued materials to the warehouse. Important! LN cannot always cancel the issue of materials or return the materials to the warehouse. After you use this session, you must check the report with the executed actions, to see whether manual actions are required to handle the materials. Delete, cancel, or set to completed If you remove production orders, LN can perform several actions:
The actions that you can perform on a production order by using this session, depend on the production orders'production order status. For more information, refer to Production order status. The following table shows which actions you can execute.

Selection ranges You can specify ranges of characteristics of production orders. Every range you specify further restricts the set of selected production orders. Some examples of selections of production orders:
Important! If you use selection ranges to select the production orders to be removed, LN does not remove production orders that belong to an order group, even if you include some of these production orders in the selection ranges. Report If you remove production orders or simulate the removal of production orders, LN prints a report that indicates what LN did with every selected production order. The following table shows which actions the report can contain.
