Cancel a facility¶
Canceling a facility means changing its status from active to a non-operational state, such as setup/pending or terminated. This is typically required when a facility no longer receives natural gas service, has been decommissioned, or was added by mistake.
Why cancel a facility?¶
A facility may need to be canceled in the following scenarios:
- The business operating at the facility has shut down permanently.
- The end user has relocated, and the facility is no longer in use.
- The facility was created during setup but never went live.
- Service has been transferred to another end user or consolidated with another location.
- There was a data entry error, and the facility was added incorrectly.
Canceling ensures accurate records, avoids billing errors, and prevents system confusion during operations or audits.
Use cases¶
-
Scenario 1: Business closure
An office building associated with a facility has been permanently closed. The end user no longer needs gas services, and the facility must be marked as terminated. -
Scenario 2: Transfer of service
A facility has been transferred to a different end user. The original association needs to be canceled to reflect the updated ownership. -
Scenario 3: Setup error
A facility was accidentally added twice or assigned to the wrong LDC during onboarding. It should be set to setup/pending or removed altogether.
How to cancel a facility¶
This guide explains how to cancel a facility in the nGenue application.
Prerequisites¶
Before canceling a facility:
- Verify that the facility is in active status.
- Ensure no open transactions, pending charges, or linked services exist.
- Confirm that canceling the facility is the correct step (consult your supervisor if needed).
- Make sure you have the correct permissions in the system to perform this action.
Steps to cancel a facility¶
- In the End user configuration screen, select an end user for which you have added a facility.
- Click on the Facilities icon available in the top header of the page. This will take you to the Facility screen.
- For more than one facility configured for an end user, make sure you select the right facility from the Facility selection screen.
- Click on the
icon to cancel the facility.
- View the current status of the facility in the Facility status panel.
- Set the new status to Terminated.
- Enter the effective date when the facility should get terminated or move in active stage.
-
Click Accept.
What happens after cancelation?¶
- The facility is removed from active listings.
- It is no longer eligible for transactions or billing.
- Historical data remains accessible for audits and reporting.
- A canceled facility cannot be reactivated directly; it would need to be reconfigured if required in the future.
