To cancel an NPA:If the Servicing Personnel Office determines that information on a Notification of Personnel Action is inaccurate or an action is invalid or improper, the Personnelist can issue a Cancellation. The Approved Requests folder lists the original RPA, Correction, and Cancellation actions performed against it, and the NOAC order in which the RPAs were processed.
If you Cancel a non-Appointment action, the application Cancels the action and any Corrections made to it. If you Cancel an Appointment action, the application automatically Cancels all subsequent Approved personnel actions and Corrections and generates an NPA for the starting original action. The application does not generate NPAs for the subsequent actions, but marks them as Canceled so that they are no longer listed in the Approved Requests for Personnel Action window. As a reminder, if you do Cancel an Appointment action, delete any pending RPA's for that person. (Open a pending RPA from your Workflow worklist and remove the employee's name, then delete the RPA.)
To cancel an NPA:Select Cancellation/Correction from the Navigator.
In the Find window, enter query criteria for the Name or Social Security.
You see a list of Approved and future actions. A processed status indicates the action has been Approved and updated to the HR database; a pending status indicates a future action.
In the Personnel Actions region, click Completed, Pending, or All to specify the type of actions that you wish to view for that employee.
From the Approved Requests for Personnel Action window, select the Notification of Personnel Action you want to Cancel. You can only process RPAs for which you are part of the original routing group.
Note: If you are canceling dual actions, you must process a separate RPA for each action. The second action is listed below the first with the number 2 next to it.
Choose the Cancellation button.
The RPA opens with the Cancellation Nature of Action entered. Because the Nature of Action is to withdraw the action, you cannot change the Nature of Action family or the data in the form.
Route, approve, and submit the RPA for update as you would other RPAs.
Note: When you close the Cancellation action, the application places it in your Workflow Worklist where you can continue to work on it. If you delete the Cancellation action before approving and updating it to the database, the application restores the original approved action to the Approved Requests for Personnel Action window.
