Redwood: Cancel an Approved Work Confirmation as a Buyer
Cancel approved work confirmations as a buyer. Before this update, you couldn't cancel approved work confirmations. With this update, you can cancel an approved work confirmation and automatically reverse the received quantity or amount.
These screenshots illustrate the feature.
Cancel Action on an Approved Work Confirmation
The work confirmation document history is updated when an approved work confirmation is canceled.
Document History of a Canceled Work Confirmation
When an approved work confirmation is canceled, the previously approved work is deducted from all subsequent approved work confirmations. Here is an example illustrating this behavior:
Two work confirmations are approved for a complex work purchase order. Work Confirmation-1 is approved before Work Confirmation-2.
- Work Confirmation-1 is approved for 5,000 USD
- Work Confirmation-2 is approved for 10,000 USD
Total Amount of Work Completed on Work Confirmation-1
Total Amount of Work Completed on Work Confirmation-2
After Work Confirmation-1 is canceled, these attributes on work confirmation-2 are updated:
- Contract Summary - Previously Approved, Total Completed to Date, and Balance to Finish
- Work Confirmation Details - Previously Approved, Progress (%), Total Completed to Date, and Balance to Finish
Contract Summary on Work Confirmation-2 After Cancellation of Work Confirmation-1

Tips and considerations
- Requesters and suppliers can't cancel approved work confirmations.
- Canceling a work confirmation doesn't require approval.
- An approved work confirmation can't be canceled if another work confirmation for the same purchase order is pending approval.
- Canceling individual work confirmation lines isn't supported.
- The purchase order life cycle displays only approved work confirmations. If an approved work confirmation is canceled, it's no longer displayed in the purchase order life cycle.
- Use the Receipt Corrections Prevented Based on Invoices (ORA_RCV_PREVENT_CORRECTIONS_FOR_INVOICES) profile option to prevent buyers from canceling approved work confirmations when associated progress payment schedules or receipts are matched to invoices.
