Rescind Request Matrix

When to Rescind

In Workday, any completed transaction that requires an edit or correction may require special handling by the Workday Operational Support Team, however, many transactions can still be fixed by CSUs. Use the matrix below to help determine if a transaction requires a rescind or can be fixed by taking additional action in Workday. For more information about the rescind process, please view the Rescind Transaction Guidance.
