This article explains how to delete a work order, bulk delete work orders, delete cycle count work orders, and restore a deleted work order.
- Administrators can delete and restore any work order.
- Full Users can only delete and restore work orders that they created.
What Happens When You Delete A Work Order​
When you delete a work order, the work order details display the deletion date and time.
If the work order was created from a work request, a notification appears in the request details to let the Requester know that the work order was deleted.
Deleting Cycle Count Work Orders​
You can't delete a work order for a cycle count. Instead, you have to delete the cycle count itself. When you delete the cycle count, MaintainX deletes the corresponding work order automatically, and stops all future occurrences. Previous occurrences of the work order are not deleted. You can still access them (e.g., for reporting). For details, see Delete a Cycle Count.
