Do not Reinstate the PM Workorder if Cancel from Workflow | Maximo

One of the missing features we found is to NOT REINSTATE the work order generated from the PM.

Behavior:

1. Cancel from the Status Change Button:

If the user cancels a work order from the Change Status button, a Dialog box appears something like "do you want to reinstate " with Yes and No buttons. 

(you have the option to choose either Reinstate or Not)

2. Cancel from the Workflow Action

If the Assigned User of workflow wants to CANCEL the record. The system will cancel the workflow and with Reinstate option Yes. 

(No prompt/dialogs appear to ask for reinstating  Yes or No. )

Therefore below is the solution in Jython: 

Alert Lead in PM; a warning message before approval | IBM Maximo

Alert Lead in PM; a warning message before approval | IBM Maximo

It will prompt an alert 4 days before the PM is due to Generate a Work order that PM exists for asset.

for Example in Preventive Maintenance Application :

1. create a new record
2. Asset ENG100 to the PM tab.
3. Go to the Frequency tab and add the following info:
1. Frequency = 1
2. Frequency Units = MONTHS
3. Alert Lead (Days) = 4 (it will alert you 4 days before the PM is due to Generate a Work order)
4. enter Estimated Next Due Date for example tomorrows date
