Assuming you're in an environment that accepts customisations:
You could add a custom YORN flag to the table (default value of 1), called something like ACTIVE and alter the default query (List tab) and relationships (tables in Main tab) to only show Active records.
You'd then need to add the flag on the UI in the main record and in the Problem, Cause and Remedy tables so that setting the flag can be managed in the UI.
That way you can visibly managed the active/inactive status of each rather than hard-coding them into an automation script?
Considerations:
- Who should be able to set the flag? (security restrictions?)
- What happens if someone accidentally sets the flag to 0 (Inactive)? The record will disappear... so setting the flag back to 1 becomes trickier.
You could really go down a rabbit-hole and introduce security permissions:
- Admins can see both inactive and active codes and set the flag
- Non-admin power users can only see active codes but can set the flag value
- Regular users can only see active codes and aren't allowed to set the flag
Best of luck!

Thanks Johannes,
It looks like we might be able to use App Designer to remove these as an option instead of a pop-up. It's not super-simple configuration, but it seems like we've done with classifications before here at MSD. I think this site describes it.

Does that seem like a reasonable solution? I'm curious if the folks you talk to have similar ideas.

Hi Carl,
That's an interesting issue. Let me check with some of the Maximo SMEs to see if we can come up with a solution...

David, did you ever figure out how to do this? We're hitting the same issue.

Hi all,
Under the Failure Codes app I would like to hide some of our Problems, Causes, Remedies as they are no longer being used.
Maximo does not allow you to delete the codes from the failure list when they have been used already.
Is there a way of hiding them or making them as inactive?
Any suggestions will be welcome
David
