The update time off function is causing confusion.

Scenario: user wants to use the Update time off function to move an already approved time-off entry from March 17th 2026 to March 20th 2026. If a user want to move an already approved time off entry in D365 F&O using the Update time off function it is needed to:


  1. select the Approved time-off entry
  2. Click Update time off
  3. Make sure to keep original Start day of March 17th in the request and set the amount to 0.00 or a value in case the unit = day
  4. Set the end date to March 20th
  5. Delete the entries for March 18th and 19th
  6. Keep the March 20th entry with the correct amount, for example Full day.
  7. Click submit


In case the steps 3 and 5 are omitted the original approved time-off entry is kept and the Update request becomes a regular new request. This is misleading. To avoid confusion we usually suggest users to submit a separate Cancelation request and a 2nd new time-off request. Can this function be improved to avoid this?
