Steps: Mass Cancel Student Awards

Steps: Mass Cancel Student Awards

Set up award packaging.
You can cancel student awards in bulk to save time and manual effort.
Workday can process up to 50,000 student awards for mass cancel operations. You can also cancel awards individually using the
Total Financial Assistance
 report.
Mass cancel operations don’t apply to student applicant awards.
  1. From the
    Access to Segments
     prompt, select
    Cancel Student Awards
    . Add your security group to the
    Mass Operation Management
     domain.
  2. Activate Pending Security Policy Changes.
  3. Create Custom Reports.
    Create a custom report with a data source of
    Student Awards
     to retrieve the awards on which to perform the cancel operation. To retrieve only active student awards, select
    Active Student Awards
     from the
    Data Source Filter
     prompt.
    Workday omits alternative loans from the report.
  4. From the
    Mass Operation Type
     prompt, select
    Cancel Student Awards
    .
The
Results
 section of your lock or unlock mass operation displays information about
Report Output
,
Data Processed
, and
Data Not Processed
.
When Workday processes awards successfully, we:
  • Create a new package and award instance.
  • Update the student’s
    Total Financial Assistance
     report.
Workday doesn’t process awards that:
  • Are inactive.
  • You already canceled.
  • Are alternative loans.
  • Are from a different award year than the one you select when you set up the operation.
  • We repackage while the operation is in progress.
  • Have multiple sequences when your custom report doesn’t include all instances from all sequences of the award.
