Task Card Bust Tab, via W/O Task Card Bust

The W/O Task Card Bust window allows a technician to 'bust' or cancel a scheduled task. A task may need to be canceled for a number of reasons such as weather conditions, man power availability, lack of time, etc. The W/O Task Card Bust functionality allows the technician to cancel and therefore remove scheduled tasks and E/Cs against a Work Order that cannot be completed for whatever reason.

Once a task has been busted, the status of the task will be updated from 'OPEN' to 'Canceled'. Once all tasks on an E/C have been busted, the E/C will be reset to 'Do Not Reset'.
