Reopening requests

When the fulfillment provider successfully finishes the request fulfillment process, the request automatically reaches the Completed status. If your request has been completed (or rejected) but the service is incomplete, you can reopen it from the Request Entry console. You can also reopen a request from a survey. (For more information, see Submitting a request survey.)

You cannot reopen a request after it reaches the Closed status. Requests with a status of Completed are automatically closed after 15 days.

Note

When you reopen a request, the original request is reopened in the fulfillment application if possible, or a work order is created, depending on how your administrator configured your system.

If you are reopening a request that was rejected during an approval process, the request status changes to Draft. If you are reopening a completed request, or a request that was rejected by a fulfillment application worker, the request status changes to Initiated or In Progress, depending on the status of the fulfillment request.
