End Work Orders Early

End Work Orders Early

You can schedule work orders to end on an earlier date than the original end date. This applies to work orders for
Extended Workforce Management (EWM)
 and
Worker Profile Management (WPM)
.
Example: A current work order has an
End Date
 of 10/15/2023. You can change the date to have the work order end early on 10/01/2023.
Consider these items when ending a work order early:
  • You can't end work orders that have any pending approvals.
  • If you have work approval rules configured, they will still trigger after you change the work order end date.
  • To extend the work order to a future end date instead, use the
    Change Dates and Rates (Modify Work Order)
    action.
  1. From the header, select
    Work Orders
    .
  2. Select the work order and click
    View Work Order
    .
  3. Click
    End
    .
  4. As you complete the task, consider the following:
    Option Description
    End Details
    End date:
    • You can end work orders on the same day as the start date.
    • The end date can't be moved prior to dates with time submitted for the work order. Example: A work order is scheduled to end on 10/20/23. If there is time submitted through 10/18/23, the earliest date you could move the End Date to would be 10/18/23.
    Additional Details
    Do Not Rehire
    :
    • If selected, the contractor's
      Rehire Eligibility
       updates on their contractor profile.
    • Administrators can enable or disable this option from the
      Work Order Settings
       page.
  5. Add any approvals, if necessary.
  • After you change the date, a banner displays in Workday VNDLY alerting you the number of days that remain until the work order ends. An administrator can configure when this banner displays in the
    Work Order Settings
    page.
  • When you end a work order, it will remain ended even if there is a future modification pending.
  • Canceled end requests are tracked in the
    Revision History
     section of the work order.
