IV93608: WORK ORDER "HAS CHILDREN" DOES NOT REVERT BACK TO 0 UPON REMOVING THE JOB PLAN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Client is having an issue when they create a Work Order (has
  children = 0), then add a Job Plan (has children = 1). Now,
  when they remove the Job Plan, has children does not revert
  back to 0.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  A. Pre-requisite steps since I don't have access to the backend:
  Go to System Configuration > Platform Configuration >
  Application Designer
  Look for WOTRACK
  Now, you are in Workspace tab
  Go to Work Order tab
  Click Control Palette icon (We will add a new textbox in WO tab)
  Drag "Textbox" in the screen
  Click the Textbox we added, then right click > Properties
  In the Attribute field, click Select Value
  Attribute = HASCHILDREN | Object = WORKORDER
  Close the window.
  SAVE.
  Logout.
  
  B. To reproduce:
  Login to Maximo
  Go to Work Order Tracking
  Create a new Work Order (e.g. WO123)
  Save.
  Has Children? = N
  Add a Job Plan (e.g. JP123)
  Has Children? is now = Y
  Remove the Job Plan.
  Has Children is still = Y
  Save.
  Notice that "Has Children" is still = Y

  * Adding a nested job plan to a work order and then removing   *
  * it, without saving at any point in the process, will         *
  * incorrectly set the "HASCHILDREN" flag to true on the work   *
  * order after a save is performed.                             *
