Welcome to the forum.
Not sure I understand the problem. Would you please carefully proofread your post and correct typos and logical errors (using the "edit" button at the lower right)? Like the ABC?DEF/*.done - is that a (wildcarded) directory or a sequence of files?
You don't seem to cd to anywhere, so why should it (what is it?) go "back to the original folder"? What exactly "isnt working"? Show the error messages.
And, give some data, like real filenames, as your sample "FilePrefix_20181120_075221_3.done" doesn't go well with the "${file:0:31}" shell expansion. Is your target directory meant to be an absolute path? Did you realize that your second expansion "${file##*.}" doesn't do anything as there's no . left in the file name?
