# system.kanoa.cmms.deleteWorkOrderEventStatus(workOrderEventStatusId, userId)

Deletes a work order event status record identified by `workOrderEventStatusId`. 
Call this to remove a status definition that is no longer needed (for example, one created in error, or superseded by another status). 
The underlying SQL constraints prevent deletion of a status that is currently referenced by other records, so the delete will fail rather than orphan existing work order event data.

---
### Parameters
**workOrderEventStatusId** `Integer`: Id of the status category to delete<br />
**userId** `Integer`:Id of the user executing the function<br />

---
### Returns
**# of records modified** `Integer`<br />
**msg** `String` None if success<br />

---
### Example
```python
workOrderEventStatusId = 17
userId = system.kanoa.security.getIDPUserId({'userName': 'SYSTEM'})
recordsModified, msg = system.kanoa.cmms.deleteWorkOrderEventStatus(workOrderEventStatusId, userId)
print recordsModified, msg
```
