Order to cancel the order. Form and sample filling
At any enterprise, at any time there may be a need to cancel a previously written order, but not everyone knows how to do this correctly. You cannot simply destroy an order - after all, it is already registered in the journal of internal documents, so a different approach is used here, namely, the creation of a new order that cancels the previous one. This action related to office work requires the issuance of a new order in full accordance with the procedure established for such actions by the internal rules of the organization.
What is the difference between orders and instructions?
Both types of documents refer to local legal acts that are valid only within one subject (organization, company). As a rule, the order has a shorter validity period and is not amended (a new one is issued). This type of act can be signed not only by the head, but also by a number of his deputies.
The order lasts longer, usually until cancelled, and only the immediate supervisor has the right to sign it. Orders solve operational issues, while orders deal with more global issues. However, the repeal of both regulations looks the same from the point of view of office work.
Order to cancel the order: main features of the document
There is no single unified form of order for canceling a previously issued order. Each enterprise can independently develop such a form or issue similar orders in free form. This document is most often filled out by an employee of the personnel department or the secretary of the organization, who subsequently submit it to the director for signature. The order is printed in two copies, one of which goes to the personnel department, the second to the accounting department. If there is a certain need, you can make a third copy for the interested party. All copies of the order must be signed by responsible persons and, if necessary, certified with the seal of the organization.
Grounds for canceling an order
You can cancel any previously issued order, but this requires grounds. As a rule, such a basis is a statement from an employee or some other document in which the interested party expressed a legal and justified desire to cancel an order that has already been issued due to the impossibility of its implementation or some other reason. An order can be canceled either at the reasoned request of the employee or the will of the employer, or due to circumstances beyond their control.
It should be noted that such an order is written not only when the previous order loses force for certain reasons, but also in cases where it is necessary to make any changes to a previously issued document.
In what situations and why do you need to cancel orders?
Situations when, due to changed circumstances, it is necessary to cancel the effect of an order or instruction from a manager, occur in practice quite often. To avoid confusion and discrepancies, it is very important to correctly document the termination of a particular regulatory act .
Of course, you cannot simply destroy the old order and consider it no longer valid. On the contrary, all officially registered papers must be filed and stored.
If the action of the order needs to be stopped, the most correct option would be to only draw up the appropriate act, where to write down all the necessary information about the cancellation. Remember, if the order is not officially canceled, it remains in effect.
Remember, if the order is not officially canceled, it remains in effect.
The most common reasons for the need to cancel previous orders include:
- a change in the circumstances that caused the first paper to appear - for example, cancellation of a business trip, cancellation of an employee’s access to a sensitive facility, the need to liquidate the commission, and so on;
- the need to change the order of a process.
There can be many reasons, and we will discuss how to indicate them correctly below. The only exception in which there is no need to prepare a special act canceling an earlier document is the situation when the first order indicates the exact period of its validity.
Contents of the order canceling the order
To give this document legal force, it is always necessary to indicate the following information:
- full name of the organization;
- name of the document type;
- date of its preparation;
- registration number of the order;
- place of compilation (here it is enough to indicate the locality);
- title to main content;
- the text of the document indicating the basis for its publication;
- manager's signature;
- signature of the interested person confirming the acquaintance.
For clarity, we will give an example of filling out an order canceling an order to dismiss an employee.
Sample filling using the example of canceling a dismissal order
As mentioned above, the first step is to include in the order the full name of the organization that issued this document (in accordance with the registration documents). Then the number of the order for internal document flow is written, as well as the date of its creation (day, month, year).
Next, you need to indicate the order on which the decision to cancel it was made (with a brief explanation of its content, for example: an order of dismissal, hiring, transfer to another job, etc.). In our example (below), the dismissal order is canceled.
The last thing that needs to be indicated here is a link to the reason for which there was a need to cancel a previously issued document (for example, an employee’s statement).
The next part is the main one and includes the actual text that cancels the previously issued decision of the manager.
It should be noted here that there is a difference in wording depending on whether the order has entered into force or not. If the document has not yet been used as a valid order, then its text in this part is formulated as follows: “Cancel the order...”, and then a link to the canceled document is also indicated, indicating its date and brief content.
If the order has come into effect, then you should write “Consider it to have lost its force...” indicating a link to the entire document with a detailed listing of registration information, name, number, date, etc. Here you should put the date from which the previously issued order loses its force.
In conclusion, the signature of the head of the organization or the responsible authorized person is required, as well as the signature of the employee for whom the order was issued. There is no need to put a stamp, since this paper belongs to internal document flow and is recorded in a special journal.
If one of the organization’s employees is entrusted with control over the execution of this order, this must also be indicated here as a separate paragraph. If there is no reference to a specific official, then responsibility is automatically transferred to the head of the organization who signed the document.
Is there a uniform form for such documents?
So, let's look in detail at how to cancel an order. There is no single form of such a normative act. Some organizations that frequently issue such documents develop their own template for an order to cancel an order. In principle, this is not necessary. The main thing is to prepare a document on company letterhead and include the following details:
- The name is “order” or “instruction”.
- Date of the document and its registration number. A document not registered in accordance with internal regulations is considered invalid.
- If the organization’s letterhead does not exist or does not contain information about the name of the company and its location, it is necessary to register them separately.
- An indication of the source of the right to issue a normative act and a reference to the paragraphs of the document in accordance with which the decision is made. For example, “in accordance with paragraph 14 of the organization’s Charter...”.
- A brief statement of the reason for the need to cancel the previous document, as well as its date and registration number.
- The word “command” or “obliges” (usually used in orders). This word is usually printed in capital letters on a separate line or with a space after each character.
- Statement of the essence of the document point by point.
- Base. If there is any documentary basis for canceling the order, you must include a link to it (with date and number). This could be, for example, a medical certificate, a document about dismissal, or an official letter about the cancellation of an event.
- Signature of the manager with transcript and seal.
A special act canceling an earlier document will not be needed if the first order indicates the exact period of its validity
Order to cancel the order
A situation where it is necessary to make certain changes to an already existing order or cancel it altogether is quite common in the work of a clerk. Therefore, this article will discuss exactly this. This issue can only be resolved with the help of a new order. Please note that the requirements for registration are standard, namely: the use of a letterhead with a full set of details, a strictly established procedure for drawing up, agreeing and registering orders.
All circumstances that served as the basis for canceling or editing the document must be stated at the very beginning of the text of the order to cancel the previous order on this issue.
If an existing order or its separate paragraph is subject to cancellation, then you can use a standard set of phrases, in particular “Declare invalid...”. Then you should make a link to the document that is subject to cancellation, for example, as follows: order of Soroka CJSC dated December 31, 2014 No. 765 “On the implementation ...”. This is done with one purpose - to eliminate any uncertainty.
If you wish, you can clarify from what moment (date) the previously signed order expires. If this is not done, then the order is subject to cancellation after a new one is issued. In the case where an order that was not in effect at all is subject to cancellation, the words “Cancel the order...” should be used with further indication of all data and a link to the document (name, date, number).
In a situation where it is necessary to change only a separate paragraph or supplement it, a similar reference to the previously issued order is made in the administrative part of the new order.
All the main points and nuances look much more clear and visual in the samples presented below.

CLOSED JOINT STOCK COMPANY "MONITOR"
Situation No. 2.
Changes need to be made to a separate paragraph of the organization’s order. A new one is issued to introduce amendments, and a separate clause in it cancels the previous act.
Sequencing
- The head of the department draws up a memo addressed to the general director. In it, he gives reasons for canceling the decision made earlier. Documents confirming the facts are attached to the note.
- The General Director puts his resolution on a note and appoints someone responsible for execution.
- The secretary draws up an order to cancel a previously issued order.
Order form
The document form includes the following items:
- Organization details.
- Registration date.
- Personnel Number.
- Reasons for cancellation.
- Effective date.
- Link to memo.
- Actions that are cancelled, order number and date.
- Names and positions of employees who will monitor execution.
- List of employees who should read the text.
- Worker visas and their decoding.
As before, in 2020, when drawing up such papers, they are guided by GOST R and the Labor Code, as well as office work instructions adopted by the organization.
The text begins with the standard phrase “Declare invalid...”
If specific items are canceled, they are indicated exactly as in the previous document.
Next, they set out the circumstances due to which a previously made decision or individual paragraphs of the document are cancelled.
The next paragraph is the desired date for cancellation of the previous document. Sometimes this point is missed. In this case, the order is canceled at the time of approval of the act of its cancellation.
If the order was not in effect at all, then the canceling document begins with the words “Cancel the order...”. Then indicate the number, date and name of the act to be cancelled.
You will find additional information about the procedure for completing documentation in the article “Orders for core activities.”
Registration of an order
The order is assigned a personnel number and date. After this, it is registered in a special journal. The manager signs the document. Accounting, HR and other departments of the company receive copies of this paper. A copy is needed if the cancellation of a previously made decision affects the recalculation of wages, vacation schedules, time sheets and cancellation of an employment contract.
Reference
The registration log of these documents consists of the following columns:
- name of the paper;
- Full name of those responsible for execution and control;
- signatures of these persons.
The secretary files the document in a folder in which similar papers are stored. It is stored for 5 years and then handed over to the archives.
For more information about the storage periods for documents, see “Orders for personnel: storage periods.”
Let's summarize:
- A previously made decision or a separate paragraph of a document is canceled by a special order or regulation.
- An order to cancel an order is used in cases where the event has not yet occurred.
- To cancel a previously made decision, compelling reasons are required.

- The order is assigned a personnel number and date. After this, it is registered in a special journal.
- The order is stored for 5 years, and then handed over to the archives.

About dismissal due to reduction
The administration of an enterprise may decide to reduce the number of employees or positions for various reasons.
This is the difficult financial situation of the enterprise, its reorganization, and a reduction in the volume of work (read about how to write an order to make changes to the staffing table here).
All employees whose positions are planned to be reduced must be notified of this no later than two months and signed.
An example of a written notice of an upcoming layoff.
Management has the right to change a previously made decision to reduce staff.
The reason for canceling the dismissal and the previously issued document may be new circumstances (for example, an improvement in the financial situation of the enterprise) or the unjustified dismissal of an employee, which resulted in a violation of his legal rights.
In the first case, the basis for cancellation may be a memorandum from the head of the relevant area (for example, financial director or chief accountant), in the second - a decision of the labor dispute commission, a resolution of the labor inspectorate or a court.
The management of the enterprise is obliged to cancel the dismissal document in connection with the reduction before the date of actual dismissal , if it does not take place, and notify the employee in writing against signature.
At the same time, the employee retains the right to resign on other grounds in accordance with the Labor Code.
If the administration still plans to reduce staff, but on a different date , then it is obliged to cancel the first dismissal order in connection with staff reduction. The countdown of the employee's notice of dismissal will begin on a new date .
Sample order to cancel a decision to reduce staff.
The management of the enterprise is obliged to cancel the document, the action of which led to a violation of the rights of the employee (by decision of the relevant authority).

Order to cancel a previously issued order (clause, clauses of the order) regarding personnel
In the process of daily personnel management activities, the management of the enterprise from time to time has a need to cancel previously issued orders (clause, clauses of orders) regarding personnel.
The most typical situations that entail the cancellation of previously issued orders (clause, clauses of orders) are: • change in circumstances related to the hiring of an employee; • change in circumstances related to the employee’s relocation; • change in circumstances related to the provision of leave to the employee; • change in circumstances related to the dismissal of an employee; • change in circumstances related to sending an employee on a business trip.
Relevant circumstances should be understood as those circumstances, the occurrence of which makes a previously issued order (any of its clauses or clauses) legally void due to the impossibility of execution or due to the disappearance of the grounds for the execution of such an order (clause, clauses of the order) for one reason or another, as determined by actions of the employer and (or) employee that were not caused by them (i.e., those that arose regardless of the will of the parties to the labor relationship). The functional purpose of an order to cancel a previously issued order (clause, clauses of an order) regarding personnel is to document the fact of a justified (primarily legally) cancellation of the corresponding management decision through the adoption of a new management decision (in this case, a personnel order).
The contents of the order to cancel
a previously issued order for personnel reflects the following information: • about the order (item, points of the order) for personnel subject to cancellation - its date, number, name (number or numbers of the corresponding points of the order); • the basis for the cancellation of the relevant order - with a brief statement of the circumstances that served as the reason for issuing the cancellation order; • instructions to officials (structural divisions) of the enterprise on the actions that must be performed in connection with the cancellation of the previous personnel order and the issuance of a new one; • measures to ensure control over the execution of the order.
The execution of a draft order to cancel a previously issued order (clause, clauses of the order) regarding personnel is carried out by an employee of the HR department on sheets of A4 writing paper in compliance with the requirements of GOST R6.30-2003.
The recommended document details are: • name of the enterprise; • name of the document type; • document date; • document registration number; • place of preparation or publication of the document; • title to the text; • text of the document; • signature; • visa document approval; • mark about the performer; • identifier of the electronic copy of the document.
An order to amend a previously issued order (clause, clauses of the order) regarding personnel.
What are the features of preparing orders to amend previously issued orders (clause, clauses of orders) regarding personnel. As in the case of orders to cancel previously issued personnel orders, the need to issue orders to amend
is caused by the occurrence of corresponding changes in the circumstances that previously served as the reason for issuing an order, the content of which is subject to change. These are circumstances the occurrence of which makes a previously issued order (any of its clauses or clauses) legally and (or) factually inaccurate.
The most common cases of occurrence of such circumstances are: • changes in legislation, regulations, local acts of the enterprise, including those related to changes in the structure of the document, its renaming, etc.; • changes in the personal circumstances (personal data) of the company’s employees, in respect of whom the relevant personnel orders (items of orders) were previously issued; • changes in the circumstances of time, place, etc., which are significant for the proper performance by the relevant employees of the work assigned to them (labor function). Thus, the functional purpose of the order to amend a previously issued order (clause, clauses of the order) regarding personnel is: documenting the fact of making justified (primarily legally) changes to the corresponding management decision by adopting a new management decision (personnel order) ; in the cancellation of an order (clause, clauses of the order) regarding personnel, the content of which reveals any discrepancy; entry into force of the corresponding personnel order containing changes - its date and number, name; if required, measures to ensure control over the execution of the order.

Sample cancellation of an order - specifics of the procedure, sequence of actions of the employer
Business lawyer > Accounting > Primary documents > What a sample order cancellation looks like - rules for filling out, necessary requirements
How to competently use a sample for canceling an order, what is the format for its preparation - these nuances are of interest to those whose occupation is related to office work. And although the law does not strictly regulate the procedure, the document has a certain template.
Concept of order
An order is a normative legal act, the purpose of which is to implement current laws, regulations, decrees, government decisions, as well as instructions from governing bodies. Drawed up by an authorized official and is binding.
The paper is classified as an internal administrative document. Its effect is limited to the organization where it is approved and does not apply to third parties and third-party institutions.
Grounds for canceling an order
An order to cancel a document is drawn up only for compelling reasons. The grounds for cancellation are:
- regulatory and legal adjustments to acts regulating the activities of the organization;
- decisions of judicial bodies of legislative power;
- production or physical factors that make execution of the director’s order impossible;
- change in the working conditions of the employee to whom the order is directed.
Reference! An instruction can be executed, changed or canceled before the occurrence of the events reflected in it. This could be an unplanned vacation, illness, business trip, dismissal, or hiring a new employee.
Cancellation Policy
The basic rule for competently canceling an existing order is issuing a new order. The following have the right to do this:
- senior manager;
- the employee who compiled the original version to be cancelled.
The next requirement is the formulation of a clear reason for the decision, an indication of the time frame from which the new document will take effect.
Legal regulation
State regulations define the rules governing the adjustment or cancellation of internal administrative documents. Lawyers in the field of labor law recommend following Article 12 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Here are the basic requirements and official grounds for canceling orders that could affect the organization's work process.
https://youtu.be/Y0crXvLCWNI
A document drawn up correctly will completely cancel the previously approved one.
Who is eligible
According to labor legislation, the authority to cancel administrative documents is vested in the person on whose behalf the primary document was drawn up. This can be either the employer himself or an employee authorized to conduct internal records management.
Financial orders are drawn up, adjusted and canceled by the company's chief accountant. If the reason for cancellation is a court order, legal support will be required.
order
The form of the document is regulated by current regulations. When drawing up an order, the requirement of GOST R6.30-2003 is taken as the basis.
The form contains the following information:
- full name and details of the enterprise;
- day, month, year of registration;
- serial number - according to the administrative documentation accounting book;
- motive for canceling the original source;

Cancellation due to sick leave
Temporary incapacity for work of an employee, confirmed by a medical certificate, is an argument for canceling the order. Documentary basis – sick leave. How is the situation resolved in practice?
Let's look at an example. The employee did not show up for work for several days, for which he was fired. Later it turned out that the reason for the no-show was not absenteeism at all, but the person’s temporary incapacity for work.
After issuing the dismissal order, he documented the reason for his absence. In this situation, the employer is obliged to cancel the order and reinstate the employee in his position.
In addition to the order, the mark in the work book will also be cancelled.

Cancellation of orders based on court decisions is a common practice. What is the right thing to do in this situation?
According to the law, an order canceling the previous one is sufficient to reinstate the employee in his position. There is no need to draw up any additional documents regarding his appointment. The main thing is that the text of the new instruction contains a clause on the calculation of moral compensation to the employee and the period of forced absence from work.

How to cancel an order using an order
Many actions at enterprises are formalized by issuing an order from the manager. The legislator has provided for a number of features for many of them, and introduced separate requirements and design rules.
Cancellation of such documents is also possible, for example, if an employee disputes the fact of his dismissal, he should not be rehired, but reinstated in his old position.
Concept of order
An order is a strong-willed instruction from the manager of an organization, corresponding to his official powers and mandatory for execution by all employees of the company or individuals listed in the document.
Various orders are carried out through the document. They can be oral or written, and their cancellation is carried out either by the same official or by one who is higher in the official hierarchy.

The issuance of such an order facilitates the exercise of the powers of certain persons. That is, it is through them, as well as other acts, that a person implements actions to manage a company, its department or part of a team.
Order cancellation rules
Cancellation of a document must be carried out only through the issuance of a new order.
This can be carried out by the following employees:

Such an order must contain a direct indication of the cancellation of the act. The most commonly used expression is “declare invalid...”. Next, the details of the act being canceled or its individual provisions are entered.

The order must correspond to the form being canceled. Thus, a written one cannot be canceled orally; a separate document will definitely need to be drawn up.
It can also be divided by content and method of control.
Highlight:
- normative, that is, aimed at establishing general instructions, orders, and so on;
- non-normative (they are also called individual), that is, those that are intended to establish an obligation for individuals to perform specific actions.

An order can repeal both regulatory and non-regulatory acts. It all depends on its content.
How to issue a cancellation order?
To cancel the action, the head of the department in which the changes have occurred writes a note to the director of the company. It must contain information about the need for the event and the signature of the applicant. As evidence of the correctness of actions, correctly executed copies of supporting documents are attached to the paper.
If the outcome is positive, the head of the organization puts a resolution on the memo and appoints a specialist responsible for preparing the order.
The form of the order issued to cancel a previously created document is free and contains the information:
- details of the company undergoing changes;
- reasons for the amendments;
- date of entry into force of the adjustments;
- information about officials monitoring compliance with new internal documentation;
- register of employees required to study the document;
- information about the memo and attached papers (if any);
- details of the canceled order;
- a type of action that does not require execution.
Who should compose?
Not every official has the right to adjust and cancel approved orders. The paperwork is divided depending on the competence of the specialists:
- personnel documentation and its changes are prepared by a personnel service employee;
- paperwork for the general activities of the company and their cancellation is processed by the clerk;
- other types of local acts and amendments to them are prepared by accounting staff.
The completed cancellation order is registered in a special journal indicating the specialists responsible for the execution of the order.
When an enterprise has orders requiring the cancellation of partial clauses or the entirety of a previously created document, the basis is the director’s order to cancel these acts.
For example, for the wrongful dismissal of a specialist, a court decision requires reinstatement of the employee in his position, cancellation of an already assigned business trip, or amendments to the employee vacation schedule.
It is more correct to issue an order to cancel before the decisions made earlier take effect. Otherwise, the documentation procedure changes. When deciding to cancel orders for the vacation of an individual specialist who is already on vacation, other documentation is drawn up, namely the recall of the specialist from vacation.
