Button “Cancel” | Triggers the action “Cancel” |
The following activities are performed when the button “Cancel” is pressed:
Time Effort and Mileage only: System checks, if the “Technically Complete” status on job level is set. If yes, then the status is reverted. If any error occurs (i.e., billing already done) the error message is shown, and the processing stops.
Time Effort and Mileage only: the status of the FSM activity is changed from 5 (closed) to 0 (open) – if needed (if already open – step is skipped).
IDoc gets cancelled. General logic: the posting is done (considering time split) but with the negative sign.
Mileage only: System tries to determine distance (item representing kilometres driven) within the order. The kilometres position is searched based on the source, destination and number of kilometres driven compared to the IDoc. When found it gets deleted. If not found, the error is raised.
IDoc deletion request is sent to the FSM Cloud.
Once processed by FSM Cloud, technician is able to repeat / correct the erroneous entry within reopened activity.
Cancellation function is also available on the incoming IDoc overview screen accessible directly through the VSS Order:
