Is it possible to UNDO a Status Update after approval?

[Subramanian Vasudevan]

Hi,

On the same note, I've done a lot of reading but I'm unable to get an answer
to this question:

Is it possible to delete Time-Phased Statusing info for a particular
assignment at a given date?

I'm building a Status Update UnApprove feature in our application, which has
to basically UNDO what was done during the status update.

If there is no way to do this, will entering a Zero for actual work on that
date through Status Update make any calculations go haywire?

Which method should I follow?

Regards,

Subramanian

There's no way to undo a status update. This functionality would require
historical data which PS does not keep.



You should be fine submitting a zero in actual work. I've done this
before with no issues.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm proceeding with applying Zero Actual Work
to undo the Status update.

Hello,

I understand that it is not possible to undo an already approved status
update.
I have a tool that updates assignments and send them to managers for
approval...but sometimes it fails in the middle for some reason. In that case
as a rollback option I am trying to clean up everything that this tool did
and restore the data back to how it was before. I have taken care of
everything except for status updates. Is it possible to remove the submitted
status updates from somewhere either through PSI or by modifying the Database
tables ? Without that, I cant run my tool again...it'll produce duplicate
updates otherwise.

Thanks
