When you need to cancel a master job bid, you must first cancel the associated junior orders and change orders. The most convenient way to cancel all of the orders on a master job bid is to begin from the Master Job Bid Review Queue.
When you change the master job bid's status from Bid to Cancel, the system warns you that canceling the master job bid breaks all links to any junior or change orders. Any uncanceled junior or change orders will continue to exist, but you will no longer have a convenient way to track them.
This topic includes the following instructions:
