Task Card Extensions application
You use the Task Card Extensions application to define and manage one-time extensions to due dates or meter counts that are associated with task cards.
In the Master Task Card and Task Card applications, on the Frequency tab, you select the Extendable check box to specify that associated task cards can be extended. You can create task card extensions in the Task Card Extensions application or on the Extensions subtab of the Planning tab in the Task Card application. If you create a task card extension in the Task Card application, a new record is automatically created in the Task Card Extensions application.
To specify that the duration of the task card extension is subtracted from the next due date or due count, you select the Subtract Extension From Next Deadline check box. Only the proportion of the extension period that was used is subtracted from the next deadline.
When the related work order is completed, the status of the task card extension is automatically set to complete. Only one active task card extension can be associated with a task card at any time. If you cancel a task card extension, the due date or due count of the task card reverts to the original value.
If you want to permanently extend task card deadlines, you must update the frequency details of the task card in the Master Task Card or Task Card application.
