Set Up Mass Actions for Personnel Action Request

Set up the
Personnel Action Request
 business process.
Workday enables you to initiate mass actions from the
Find Personnel Action Requests
 report. You can use the facets to filter for eligible personnel action request events.
  1. Access the
    Personnel Action Request
     business process security policy and assign the appropriate security groups to these actions:
    • Mass Cancel Personnel Action Request
    • Mass Correct Personnel Action Request
    • Mass Update Personnel Action Request
  2. Configure the
    Mass Action Events
     domain in the System functional area and grant the appropriate security groups Modify permissions.
  3. Access the
    Mass Action Event
     business process security policy and assign the appropriate security groups to the:
    • Start Mass Action
       initiating actions.
      There are two
      Start Mass Action
       initiating actions. Ensure that you add security groups to both.
    • Complete Mass Action Event
       action step.
    • View All
       action.
  4. Edit the
    Mass Action Event
     business process definition and add an action step for
    Complete Mass Action Event
    . Ensure that it comes after the initiation step. This step supports Mass Action event table generation and automated event completion.
Mass actions buttons display on the
Find Personnel Action Requests
 report, enabling you to initiate mass actions on personnel action request events displayed in the report.
Workday automatically approves mass corrections and cancellations, and skips your configured business process reviews and approvals.
For mass cancellations, the events must be rescindable. Once cancelled, Workday automatically rescinds the parent business process events and creates 001 - Cancellation Personnel Action Request events.
For mass corrections, Workday automatically creates 002 - Correction Personnel Action Request events.
