ACTIVITY OVERVIEW
This course includes various activities, demonstrations, and videos in a Workday training tenant
to provide practice configuring Spend processes and reports.
COURSE STRUCTURE
In this course, we’re going to begin with an overview of Procurement and Supplier Management
and the types of data that it contains. We will discuss how supplier configuration is set up and
then demonstrate how to create supplier contracts. Next, we will highlight Procurement
Processes including requisitions, sourcing, purchase orders, and contingent worker
procurement. In Request for Quote, we will look at the bid process used to acquire goods or
services, supplier responses to the request, through awarding the request to a supplier. Next,
we will explain how to use Supplier Invoice Matching, and then in Supplier Invoices, how to
create supplier invoices, make invoice adjustments, and create prepaid invoices. Procurement
Cards, Banking and Settlement of Payments introduces P-card functionality, and reviews
banking and settlement of payments. Business Assets is used to maintain accounting rules and
you will begin processing intangible assets from supplier contracts. Finally, we will discuss
considerations for Managing Reports and using analytics to identify spend patterns. We will
review custom reports, Report Writer, and processing forms. Let’s get started!

OBJECTIVES
This touchpoints diagram provides insight into how one area of the product impacts another.
There are configuration decisions that need to be made with current and possibly future phases
of implementation in mind. Your consultants will work with you to identify and plan for these
touchpoints.
This diagram represents the touchpoints for the current Workday release.
Term Definition
Supplier Vendor that provides goods or services includes contingent
workers and companies that provide contingent labor.
Requisition Internal transaction to request goods or services:
Catalog – Goods or services from an internal or external
(Punchout) catalog
Deliverable Service – request for service associated to a project
where milestone payments are made (e.g. landscaping, new
construction, marketing campaign)
Ad Hoc Request – request for a good that is needed for a
specific, non-continuing purpose, and is not a known item
Purchase Order (Po) External transaction to request goods or services from
suppliers.
PO Issue Dispatch/send the purchase order to the supplier.
Supplier Invoice Transaction in Workday that accrues liability and generates a
payment to the supplier.
Requester Worker requesting the good or service.
Buyer Worker who sources the requisition to a PO and “owns” the PO
from the supplier’s perspective.
Punchout The electronic catalog of items for a supplier. Enables buyers to
click a link that goes to a supplier’s catalog, search for items on
the supplier’s site, and return those items directly to the buyer’s
shopping cart.
Item Catalog The catalog of items for a supplier.
Sourcing Determining how the requisition will be fulfilled. E.g. a
requisition can be sourced by creating a PO or by sourcing the
item from storage.
Recurring Supplier Framework to create fixed and variable amount recurring
Invoice invoices.
Supplier Contract The framework used to support the supplier’s item catalog.
Purchase orders and invoices can be tracked against a Supplier
Contract.

Note: You will have a series of required videos and demonstrations to watch
throughout this course. When you are ready to watch a video, please log into the
Workday Learning Center, find the video in the Spend curriculum and click the
Launch link.
Watch the videos and/or demonstrations until the conclusion or click the Complete
button at video end (if provided).
PROCUREMENT STEPS
Generally, the procurement process involves six broad stages; the process flows from creating
a requisition through the final payment for the goods or services. This process is common to all
categories of procurement. Spend is designed to provide organizations with control and visibility
over the entire lifecycle of a transaction. The organization identifies how an item is ordered, and
how it is sourced. Once a supplier is identified, typically a purchase order will be sent to the
buyer indicating what product or service is needed, and where it is to be received. The buyer
receives an invoice from the supplier, and once matched, the final invoice is paid. This provides
full insight into a company’s cash flow, identifies spend transactions, and highlights financial
commitments.
OPTIONAL FEATURES
Procurement has several optional features that add to its basic ability to create requisitions and
generate purchase orders. When the goods arrive or it's time to pay for services, you can
generate a receipt, prepare an invoice, and send it to the settlement engine for payment. You
can record supplier-delivered goods, timesheets, and tasks against the purchase order to match
what you ordered with what you received.
• Create a Workday account for suppliers, which enables them to load their own catalog
items, approve purchase orders, log time and tasks, and submit invoices.
• Create supplier contracts with specified items, payment terms, and other details. Then
you can order goods and services against the contract and the terms follow the order
from requisition to payment.
• Use Punchout configuration to order from a catalog on a supplier's website.
• Contract contingent workers, independently or through a supplier, or contract for
deliverables services.
• Load purchase items into the catalog with no specified supplier.
• Create requisition templates for ordering common goods and services.
• Create change orders for issued purchase orders.

TYPES OF SPEND
Spend types provide an understanding of what a company spends on goods and deliverable
services, with whom, and for what.
Deliverable
Services
Contingent
Goods
Workers
Types of
Spend
GOODS
Goods procurement tracks spend for physical objects, which can be expensed or capitalized, as
well as issued to a worker.
Examples of goods:
• Office supplies
• New worker configuration
Purchase orders for goods will display information related to a purchase item including item
description, unit of measurement, and unit price.
DELIVERABLE SERVICES
Deliverable Services procurement tracks spend for a project or task oriented endeavors.
• Marketing campaign
• Landscaping project
Purchase orders for deliverable services will display information related to a project including
tasks and phases.
CONTINGENT WORKERS
Contingent Workers spend tracks contract labor expenses.
• Consultants
• Independent contractors
• Freelancers
Purchase orders for contingent workers will display information related to a worker including job
profile, job description, and start and end dates.
NOTES
SUPPLIERS
A supplier is a business entity from whom you purchase goods or services. Workday’s Supplier
Management allows you to setup and maintain your entire set of vendors. Supplier Requests
streamline the Supplier creation process providing necessary segregation of duties. There are
different ways to set-up your suppliers depending on what they provide, and how they provide
the goods or services you purchase. Supplier-related setup tasks vary, depending on the type of
supplier.
This touchpoints diagram provides insight into how one area of the product impacts another.
There are configuration decisions that need to be made with current and possibly future phases
of implementation in mind. Your consultants will work with you to identify and plan for these
touchpoints. Below is the touchpoint diagram representing all the touchpoints between Supplier
Accounts and other Workday functional areas.
This diagram represents the touchpoints for the current Workday release.
SUPPLIER SETUP
SUPPLIER PREREQUISITES
Prior to creating a supplier, the following attributes need to be established:
SUPPLIER CATEGORY
Suppliers can be assigned to a supplier category to facilitate organizing them, searching for
them, and reporting on them. For example, supplier categories may include: IT Distributers,
Office Supply Distributer, Food and Beverage Distributor, etc. This is especially useful if you
have many suppliers.
All suppliers can have only one supplier category. You will also use supplier categories when
selecting or searching for suppliers and while editing posting rules.
SUPPLIER GROUP
Supplier groups are a way to organize suppliers of different goods and services into any groups
that you find useful. A supplier can be part of multiple supplier groups. Supplier groups are used
primarily for reporting and selection. An example of suppliers’ groups would be:
• Suppliers A-L
• Suppliers M-Z
PAYMENT TYPE
A valid form of payment is required to pay invoices, payment elections, and other payments.
Payment types are: Cash, Check, Credit Card, Debit Card, Direct Debit, Direct Deposit, EFT,
Manual, and Wire. These are user configured, and each payment type is mapped to a payment
method, whose values are delivered by Workday. For example, a credit card payment method
could be mapped to the payment types, such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
PAYMENT TERMS
Payment terms are used to specify a payment due date and, optionally, a discount percent and
discount due date. Standard payment terms enable you to specify payments, such as
Immediate or Net 30. Advanced payment terms vary discount percentages based on the due
date. For example, you might grant a 5% discount to suppliers who pay within 10 days, and a
2% discount to suppliers who pay between 11 and 30 days. Payment terms include: Discount
Percent, Discount Days, Grace Days, and Usage Count.
SUPPLIER OPTIONS
1099 SUPPLIER
A 1099 supplier is any supplier with whom you have done business, and to whom you must
issue a U.S. IRS form 1099 at year end to summarize payments for the year. Workday includes
these suppliers and their applicable payments in your 1099 reporting. An applicable payment is
one paid to a 1099 supplier from a supplier invoice, ad hoc payment, or ad hoc bank transaction
that includes lines with spend categories mapped to 1099 categories. Ad hoc bank transactions
must be withdrawals flagged for inclusion in IRS 1099.
SUPPLIER REQUEST
There is a supplier request business process available to authorized users, which requires the
initiators to enter minimal information about the suppliers they wish to add, such as name and
contact information. Requests will route to the supplier administrator for approval/completion.
You can request a supplier through the Create Supplier Request task.
SUPPLIER HIERARCHIES
Workday enables you to define parent/child relationships between suppliers. For example, you
may have a primary supplier to whom you want to assign a dependent, local subsidiary. By
defining these relationships, Workday can provide reporting based on parent/child relationships.
For example, child activity can roll up to a report on totals for a parent. Workday can also
support application of a payment from a parent to the invoices of a child, and vice versa.
Setting a supplier status to Hold or Inactive affects supplier behavior in other places. Refer to
the table below for details.
• YES – means you can perform this task (or the report shows) suppliers with this status.
• NO – means you cannot perform this task (or the report does not show) suppliers with
this status.
Suppliers are available for procurement documents and transactions after the supplier has been
approved through the business process.
Business Case: These supplier categories will be used to classify our new suppliers.

SPEND CATEGORIES
SPEND CATEGORIES
All items that you can track must have a spend category. It is likely that the business asset or
purchase item you want to track is already associated with a spend category. Spend categories
are a prerequisite for capitalizing business assets and tracking custodianship. For capitalized
business assets, make sure that the spend category has a depreciation profile associated with
it.
Spend category is also used to derive the correct ledger account that should be used for the
operational journal. You can specify this in the posting rules for spend and business assets.
Spend categories define the financial characteristics of business assets and purchase items.
This includes:
• Searching
• Reporting
• Security
• Account Posting Rules
You can assign posting rules to a default ledger account, or create conditions for posting to a
specified account. For each condition, you select from a predefined list of dimensions for the
transaction type. For certain dimensions, such as various types of groups and accounting
categories, you can select from a list of values that you have predefined. For example, in the
SPEND posting rule you can create a rule condition that requires any transaction with spend
Place posting rule conditions in order from most to least restrictive by using the Evaluation
Order. Workday evaluates conditions from the top down, posting transactions to the ledger
account associated with the first matching condition that it finds. For example, let's say you post
transactions to Account A based on company and cost center and Account B based on the
same company, the same cost center, and a region. You must place the latter, more restrictive
condition first. Otherwise, Workday will post matching transactions to Account A because that's
the first match it finds.
If no conditions match, then Workday posts the transaction to the rule's Default Ledger Account
or, if no default exists, flags the transaction as having an error.
Workday limits the allowable dimensions for any posting rule to ones that make sense for each
specific type of transaction. The available values depend on the selected dimension. Many of
the dimensions display values that you have defined, such as values for companies, types of
groups, and accounting categories.
You may add as many dimensions as necessary to establish the posting rule condition.
Note: If you prefer that Workday flag transactions that do not match any account
posting rule conditions then leave the default ledger account blank. You might do
this; for instance, if you are anticipating that the non-matching transactions indicate
an invoice or rule error. If such is the case, it is easier to find and fix such errors
(using the View Operational Journals with Errors report) than it is to discover and
reverse journal entries in the default account.
CUSTOM VALIDATIONS
Custom validations allow you to define validation logic to control data quality on your financial
transactions. For example, one custom validation might ensure that a Supplier Invoice
transaction includes both a cost center worktag and region worktag. Another custom validation
might issue a warning when a Customer Invoice transaction doesn’t have a Course Number
worktag associated with it.
A rule defines a failed condition. If the transactional event does not meet the condition, it will
pass. The custom validation is built on the concept of a negative condition.
Custom validations can be configured as either Critical or Warning severity type. Both types are
executed when the transaction is submitted, not during data entry.
• Critical: An error is triggered and must be resolved before the user can continue.
• Warning: An alert message is triggered, but the transaction may continue.
Using the existing Maintain Custom Validations task, you can create or edit critical errors and
warning messages for transactions based on rule conditions that you establish. When your
users perform these transactions, Workday validates them against the current custom validation
conditions.
• New Validation: You can create a new custom validation. It can generate a Critical Error
or a Warning Alert.
• Maintain Validations button: You can change or delete existing custom validations. This
will not affect existing transactions; it will only affect new transactions.
Tip: Approvers also see any warnings in the transaction they receive for review.
The financial accounting and reporting is driven by what appears on a transaction. For example,
if you know that you will run period close reports by Cost Center you will need a cost center on
every transaction that might affect period close. If you know that expense accounting is
determined by a project number, you need to make sure that a project number is included on
each supplier invoice and supplier invoice adjustment. You cannot make a field required, only
Workday can do that, but you can write a custom validation indicating to the user what must be
entered before they can complete a transaction.
You build custom validations around what you need on an account posting rule and/or what you
will need for a specific report.
Business Case: We will define two new spend categories for use in the accounting rules and
as additional reporting dimensions.

NOTES
SUPPLIER CATALOG
INTRODUCTION
Supplier contracts help you to implement and leverage your company's procurement practices.
You can define preferred suppliers, implement contractual spend, negotiate and enforce
discounts and other supplier terms, and analyze spend for better control and standardization.
When you set up supplier contract types you can define the business documents, catalogs, and
receiving requirements you need for supplier contracts.
CATALOG ITEMS
Catalog items are associated with a supplier contract. You can search the catalog for them from
the View Cart task. When you select these items in a requisition, Workday automatically issues
the PO to the supplier and the Buyer requisition review is bypassed.
CATALOG LOAD
Catalog items are loaded using the Catalog Load Request task, which associates the items you
load with a supplier contract.
3. From the Create New Catalog option, you can click Load Items to access the Catalog
Load Request task.
1. Access the Create Supplier Catalog task and specify header information including, the
Catalog Name, Supplier, and Currency.
2. Click OK.
You can use the Catalog Load Request task to manually enter items into the catalog and
associate them with a supplier contract.
Items loaded are in the catalog. You can search the catalog for them from your workcart, or you
can search for them from the Search window.
When you select these items in a requisition, Workday automatically issues the PO to the
supplier and bypasses the buyer requisition review.
1. Select the Effective Date for the catalog items you are creating, updating, or inactivating.
2. In the Default Lead Time in Days field, specify the number of days between the date the

The agreements with the supplier contract govern the terms of the procurement of goods and
services.
• Leases
• Maintenance Agreements
• Purchasing Contracts
• Blanket Purchase Orders
• Licensing Rights
When contract terms change, customers can enter amendments and can optionally route them
for approval and review. Spend against Supplier Contracts is tracked, and analysis is available
through drill-downs when viewing contracts.
You can create supplier contracts with specified items, payment terms, and other details. Then
you can order goods and services against the contract and the terms follow the order from
requisition to payment.
CONTRACT TYPES
The contract types allow you to manage your contracts in accordance to your contract terms,
such as scheduled invoicing, scheduled purchasing, and renewal terms.
You can configure contract types that best suit your needs. Options include:
Business Uses
Document
Receipt Formal, written acknowledgment that something of value has been received.
Catalog The list of items you can buy from a certain supplier; includes the cost of the
item.
Return Numbered authorization provided by a (usually distant) seller to permit the
buyer to return an item for refund. Creates Supplier Invoice Adjustment if
already paid for.
The chart above is a beginning-to-end process flow that illustrates creating a supplier contract
and creating a purchase order or invoice based on a schedule.
SUPPLIER CONTRACT
First, you create a supplier contract. Then, there is a business process for the approval of the
supplier contract. Once the supplier contract is approved, you can then create schedules.
SCHEDULE
From the schedules, you can generate installments for your supplier contract. For example, you
may have a twelve-month lease and the schedule has terms where you pay monthly on the
15th. There are twelve installments through the end of a calendar year. You can spread even
the amount for each of the monthly installments. If you have custom installments, you can
maintain installment amounts. There is a business process for approving the schedule, including
the installments for further review and approval.
The chart above is a beginning-to-end process flow that illustrates creating a supplier contract
amendment and updating the corresponding purchase order or invoice schedule.
SCHEDULE
You then can regenerate installments, because the amounts may have changed when the
amendment was created. You may also have to delete some unused installments and create
new ones.
The chart above shows the relationships of all the parts of a supplier contract line and how they
fit together; it shows a supplier contract that has three different contract lines.
Line 2 require purchase orders to be generated weekly, whereas Contract Line 3 is for goods
that are only ordered once a month.
You can have a single installment line or use multiple lines depending on the schedule.
When you create your purchase order or invoice, it will have the same number of lines reflected
in whatever was defined in the installment line generation.

REQUISITION AND WORKCART CONCEPTS
Creating a requisition for goods or deliverable services starts with your workcart. As you select
goods and services from various places, they are listed in the workcart. You can request
physical goods (such as a chair), contingent workers (contract workers), or deliverables services
(such as a new website) for yourself or on behalf of another worker.
When all the items you want to request are in your workcart, you can "check out" to generate
the requisition. You can remove items from your workcart or close it at any time without creating
a requisition, and return to it later. When you click the Checkout button, all the items in your
workcart are moved into a new requisition. You can edit, save, or process the requisition.
CHECKOUT
The Checkout button creates a requisition from the entries in your workcart and empties your
workcart.
SEARCH CATALOG
Use this option to search your own organization's catalog of available goods as well as supplier
catalog items.
PUNCHOUT
Supplier Punchout connects you to a supplier's website so that you can browse the supplier's
catalog, select items to purchase, and bring the items back into your workcart without leaving
Workday. When you click the Punchout link from your workcart, Workday opens the supplier
website and displays the catalog items that are applicable to your company. After you make
your selections and complete your order, Workday adds the items to your workcart. When you
have returned to the workcart, you can either connect to another supplier catalog or check out of
the workcart. After you create a requisition from the Punchout session and generate a purchase
order, Workday sends a cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language) version of it directly to
the supplier.
Two integration systems facilitate end-to-end procurement for each Punchout supplier. A single
integration establishes a connection from Workday to the Punchout catalog on the supplier's
website, and the other integration submits purchase orders to the supplier based on your
requisitions.
You can select from Workday's preconfigured Punchout suppliers or create Punchout
integrations with the suppliers of your choice. Suppliers in the Workday list include: CDW, Dell,
Guest Supply, and Staples.
Generic integration templates are available for you to create integrations to other suppliers who
support the Punchout standard.
AD HOC REQUISITION
The Ad Hoc option is used when the item requested is not a standard item found in a catalog. If
you do not know all the details, the buyer can fill them in later when processing the requisition.
Deliverable services are based on projects. Typically, they would be used in situations where
you want to track service projects based on tasks completed.
The requisition, purchase order, and invoice will have a layout that is geared toward project
information rather than goods.

REQUISITION TEMPLATE
CREATE A REQUISITION TEMPLATE
You can create requisition templates when you plan to requisition the same goods repeatedly.
Use the Requisition Templates report to see a list of available templates. This report lists all the
templates that you created, plus any shared templates that can be seen by your user account or
security groups you are in, along with templates that are visible to everyone.
Column Description
Item Specify (or create) the item for this line.
Item Specify the item description if the line is for an ad hoc item.
Description
Spend Specify a spend category if the purchase item does not fill one in
Category automatically.
Supplier Specify the supplier. If you choose a supplier with whom your company has
a contract, your request bypasses the buyer and goes straight to the
supplier after the requisition is approved. All goods requests with a non-
contract supplier go through a buyer before being issued to a supplier. If
you do not choose a supplier on a requisition, the buyer will.
Quantity Specify the quantity.
Unit of Specify the units of measure. For items that are individual units, use Each.
Measure
Unit Cost Specify the cost per unit of measure.
Extended The extended amount is automatically calculated from the quantity and unit
Amount cost.
Memo You can optionally add a memo for each line item.
Worktags Specify appropriate worktags.
Splits Specify appropriate split information.
One difference for this task is the option to specify a job profile in the New Hire Template for Job
Profile field. You can specify one or more job profiles and use this template whenever you are
creating a requisition for a worker with that job profile.
The other difference is a set of Template Access options, which are not available on the other
task. The options are:
Security •You can select one or more security groups whose members
have access to this template.
Group
•You can select one or more users who have access to this
User template.
Tip: Keep in mind when creating templates and copies of requisitions that the prices
in the original requisition are not dynamically updated to match supplier price
changes. As the template or copy ages, its prices might become inaccurate. You
should remind users to check and update prices before using requisitions made
from templates or copied from older requisitions.
Business Case: Typically building access cards and VPN Tokens are purchased together
and provided to new employees and contract workers. A template will ensure all items are
included while simplifying requisitioning.

Purchase orders are issued to suppliers for goods and services for fulfillment.
• Sourcing a requisition.
• Independently creating a standalone Purchase Order without a requisition.
A goods requisition is automatically sourced if you use a catalog item or Punchout item,
because these items are associated with a supplier that has a contract with your company.
When sourcing a requisition, buyers and service coordinators can choose to source only some
of the lines in the requisition, leaving the others to be completed later.
Generally, buyers review requests for goods that are not automatically sourced and services
coordinators review requests for services.
2. Verify that the Company and Requester fields are correct, and then click OK.
4. Enter the appropriate search criteria for the requisition you are searching for. You can
search for multiple items if you wish.
7. Click the Checkout button when done. Upon checkout, the items in the workcart display
on the requisition.
9. Change the Ship-To Address field to the storage location that was selected in the
purchase order. This identifies sourcing from storage.
10. Click Submit. Depending on your business process, you may have an approval step.
The approval of the requisition leads to the next task, the sourcing of goods.
SOURCING SERVICES
Generally, a services coordinator reviews and sources requests for deliverable services. Then,
the reviewer must check the service requisition lines for each line that you want to source. You
can choose to source only some of the lines in this requisition, leaving the rest to be completed
later. If the service request is to be internally sourced, the process stops here, otherwise you
must manually source services requests.

Workday Receiving allows you to track receipt activity against your Purchase Orders. Receipts
can encompass standard goods receiving (which can flow to business asset tracking),
contingent worker timesheets and deliverables activity logs. These traditionally different types of
consumption leverage a common business process that provides configurable steps as well as
support for Evaluated Receipt Settlements (ERS).
ERS is a process of paying for goods and services from a receipt, or a packing slip rather than
from a separate invoice document. The payee uses data in the packing slip to apply the
payments. The supplier ships goods, and the purchaser, upon receipt, confirms the existence of
a corresponding purchase order or contract, verifies the identity and quantity of the goods, and
then pays the supplier.
You can automate the process of creating an invoice based on the receipt of goods or services
(whether the receipt is created internally or through the self-service time and deliverables logs).
Then, when a receipt is created, the role you specify in the business process receives an Inbox
notification to create a supplier invoice via the Create Supplier Invoice from Receipt task. This
invoice is automatically populated with information from the receipt, thereby making it simpler
and faster to create the invoice.
Routing receipts of goods and services for approval is useful in cases where the completion of
services or the receipt of goods is time recorded. The Receipt business process definition
applies to both receipts created internally and receipts based on contingent worker self-service
time and deliverables logs.

• Goods may be damaged, incorrect items may have been shipped, too many items may
have been shipped, items may no longer be needed, etc.
• You may need to record the return of goods to suppliers to accurately reflect quantities
of items that you must pay a supplier for, and will generate receipt accruals for.
• Reasons why goods are returned need to be tracked to determine if there are issues
with the suppliers providing the items.
• Often, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) is needed from the supplier to return items.
• You can create a return to suppliers for goods that have been ordered against a supplier
contract, if the contract allows for receipts and has approved receipts.
• Only Returns that have a reason with the Create Invoice Adjustment checked will create
Supplier Invoice Adjustments.
• Invoice Adjustment Reason will default on the resulting Supplier Invoice Adjustment.
• Invoice Adjustment Reasons must have the Payables Use checked.
3. If a return with the associated return reason should initiate an invoice adjustment, check
Create Invoice Adjustment.
For example, returns with the Damaged Goods return reason create a supplier invoice
adjustment.
For return reasons with invoice adjustments, optionally select an Invoice Adjustment Reason.

If your staffing model is position management, create a contingent worker job requisition and
specify the Cost Information.
In the Contract Contingent Worker task, verify the Create Purchase Order option is checked.
Review contract details and make modifications as needed.

Order •Contract Contingent Worker
and Issue
The workflow you use to enable contingent worker staffing and procurement starts by creating
contingent worker job requisitions in HCM and routing them for approval, and then continues
once a contingent worker is selected for the position. From there, you can automate the creation
of purchase orders when contracting contingent workers, track time against purchase orders,
and automatically create invoices from approved timesheets. In addition to your internal users,
contingent workers or suppliers can enter timesheets which can be tracked against purchase
orders, and initiate invoices based on the contingent worker's time and pay rate. You can use
staffing suppliers for contracting contingent workers, or contract them directly as 1099 workers.

Before you can hire, transfer, promote, or demote workers into a supervisory organization, you
must open jobs or positions and apply hiring restrictions to job profiles to control which jobs and
positions can be filled, the worker types who can fill them, the location of jobs and positions, and
other conditions of employment.
If you are using job requisitions, you must have an open and approved job requisition before
you fill a vacant position in a supervisory organization that uses position management as the
staffing model. You can either create a new position or associate an existing position when you
create a job requisition.
You can create classification types for contingent workers, such as contractors or consultants.
When you create a job requisition for a contingent worker, you will navigate from tab to tab to
provide the needed information for the position.
1. On the Recruiting Information tab, provide general information for the requisition.
Option Description

For creating a new position in a position management organization, you can

Recruiting For open positions with a previous job requisition, the date must be later
Start Date than the previous job requisition.

STEPS
1. Access the Contract Contingent Worker business process and specify approval routing
steps and other company requirements.
2. Add the Create Purchase Order from Contingent Worker Contract sub-process step to
the Contract Contingent Worker business process.
3. Access the Create Time Code task to set up time codes for contingent worker
timesheets.
4. Optionally, add the Create Supplier Invoice from Receipt sub-process step to the
Receipt business process. This automatically creates supplier invoices from approved
timesheets against purchase orders.
Supplier Management allows you to setup and maintain your entire set of vendors. Workday's
unique approach to contingent worker management precludes the need to create a supplier
record for each independent contractor. Purchase orders, invoices, and payments can interact
directly with independent contingent workers.
Basic supplier worktags provide a quick and easy way to create basic definitions for customers,
projects, sales items, and suppliers when you want to use them as worktags in HCM, payroll,
financial management, and spend but don't need the complexity of their full-featured definitions.
For example, you might want to tag a contingent worker contract with a supplier name without
having to fully define the supplier.
Setup is simplified because you don't need to create detailed definitions or enable numerous
financial-specific domains. You can convert from basic to full-featured versions any time. The
Maintain Basic Suppliers task requires a unique name for each basic worktag so that they are
distinguishable in prompts.

OBJECTIVES
The following are ways in which supplier invoice matching can occur:
2-Way Matching
3-Way Matching
4-Way Matching
Matching by Amount
Matching by Quantity
Matching by Tolerances
The most common method of matching is the 3-Way match; this compares the PO, Receipt and
Invoice. The 3-Way match is often the method companies use to recognize a valid financial
obligation. It relies on the receipt of goods, though in some cases a receipt of goods is not
needed, e.g. smaller dollar amount purchases such as office supplies. In these cases, only the
PO and invoice documents are matched; this is a called a 2-Way match. In the case of high
value items, an inspection of the goods may be required before they can be considered
received. Matching of the PO, receipt, inspection and invoice is known as a 4-Way match. The
2-, 3- and 4-Way match comparisons in Workday can be made at the document line split, line,
or header levels, or a combination of all three.
Some companies may be willing to pay a Supplier Invoice without having an exact match on
price or quantity if the price or quantity differences fall within a pre-defined tolerance. Matching
can be defined with a +/- tolerance, the tolerance being a percentage or a dollar amount.
To have complete matching, in addition to defining match rules and tolerances, users can
override these match exceptions. This document describes how to establish match rules,
routing and overriding match exceptions in Workday.
4-Way matching involves an additional inspection step after receiving goods. Invoices cannot be
paid until items have passed inspection. This can be achieved in Workday by including the
inspection step as an additional step in the Receiving BP so that the receipt cannot be
completed until the inspection is completed. Where inspection has not been completed but an
invoice is processed, a match error will occur due to an exception.
PURCHASE ORDER
In Workday, a purchase order can be created directly or can be generated from a requisition.
Purchase orders can be created for goods, services, or project-based services. In Workday,
services and project based services are amount-based only, whereas goods can be quantity- or
amount-based.
Prior to receiving or invoicing, the purchase order must be issued via the Issue Purchase Order
task or from the related action of the PO. Once a PO has been issued, any changes will
generate a PO change order. The change order is not a different document from the original
PO, but rather the most current version of the PO on which changes/edits were made. During
matching, the most current version of the PO is used to compare against the supplier invoice.
RECEIPT
A receipt is required to facilitate a 3-Way or 4-Way match. Receiving of goods is performed by
receiving a quantity of goods. Receiving of services, when using deliverable services, is
achieved by receiving milestone amounts (no quantities). Receiving of services that have not
been created using deliverable services orders are received by receiving a quantity, the same
way goods are received.
When a PO for contingent labor is created, contingent worker time is "received" when the
contingent worker records their time for each period by using the Log Time and Tasks task. As
time is logged against the PO, the available amount on the PO is reduced by the time logged,
multiplied by the contingent worker's rate. Log Time and Tasks works in a very similar way to
the project-based services PO, where no quantity or unit price is recorded. This is important
when matching these types of invoices.
For contingent worker time, rather than matching the time logged to a supplier invoice provided
by the supplier, the receiving business process can be set up (to use the "Create Invoice from
Receipt" Action) so that once the time logged by a contingent worker is approved a supplier
invoice is generated in Workday, meaning that an invoice from the supplier is not needed and
matching does not need to be performed. Payment is based on the approved time logged. The
"Create Invoice from Receipt" Action is not limited to contingent worker time logged and can
also be used for all other receipts.
SUPPLIER INVOICE
The final document needed for matching is the supplier invoice. Typically, as a best practice, a
supplier invoice that has a match exception is held up, and does not move along unless the
exception is cleared. In Workday, this kind of supplier invoice is given ‘in progress’ status and is
waiting in match exception to be reviewed by someone defined in the Supplier Invoice BP. Once
required action is taken to either clear or override the exception, the matching process is run
again and the system allows the invoice to complete the additional steps in the process you
defined for the Supplier Invoice BP.
OVER RECEIVING
Over-receiving can occur when there is a supplier shipping error and the same order is shipped
twice, or when the requestor contacts the supplier requesting additional quantities after the
order has been placed.
Workday utilizes the BPF condition rule framework process or setup for matching. For matching
to happen, you need to create a condition rule by specifying the CRFs and creating a rule set for
using those CRFs. After you have your rules created, you can associate them with an actual
match rule, which then allows you to tie it to an exception code. Then you can assign those
rules to steps in a business process.
You can create a condition rule using any CRF in the system that is in the context of the
Supplier Invoice, Supplier Invoice Line, Supplier Invoice Line Distribution, and Supplier Invoice
Line Splits. Then you can create a match rule set for using these CRFs, tie them to an exception
code, and assign these rules to business process steps in a company. You can create simple or
complex condition rules.
Keep in mind that rule sets are company-specific, so if matching is configured in the Supplier
Invoice BP for a company, when the matching job is initiated, it retrieves all the active rule sets
and executes the condition rules for that invoice. The rule sets can be associated with more
than one company, but you must associate at least one rule set with a company.
Workday delivers several match rule CRFs, all prefixed with "MR” that can be used in customer
defined condition rules.
All PO related invoices in Workday are created by copying a PO or receipt, thereby reducing the
need to key data and hence reducing data entry errors. Obviously, copied prices and quantities
may need to be updated to reflect the values on the supplier's invoice, thereby introducing the
potential of data entry errors, but these can be mitigated by enforcing invoice control totals. In
addition, Workday has some built-in controls. When creating a supplier invoice, for example,
when copying from a receipt it is not possible to invoice for greater than the quantity received,
thereby aiding in reducing data entry errors.
The best way to resolve match exceptions/errors is to quickly get the invoice to the correct
person who was involved in the price negotiations, ordering of the goods/ services and
receiving, so that they can assist in resolving the exception. This can best be accomplished by
setting up match rules as condition rules on the Invoice Event BP. More detail about routing
match exceptions is provided below. The advantage of Workday's real time matching means
invoices are matched and routed as soon as they are created rather than waiting for a matching
batch process to be run, something which often occurs at the end of the day once invoices are
entered.

When including matching condition rules in the BP, it is recommended that Help Text be
included on each matching step, this will aid the approver in knowing which match rule was
invoked and what action they need to perform to resolve the error. To assist further in resolving
the match error, it is recommended that embedded analytics be included so that the approver
can see all information related to the match error and make an informed decision.
When using match condition rules as part of the Supplier Event BP, it is the invoice document
that is routed to the requestor, buyer, or other role that is responsible for resolving the match
error. Unlike other business processes, where the approver only needs to take action on the
current document, when routing the supplier invoice for matching errors, the approver may need
to take action outside of the invoice document to resolve the match error. This additional action
could be to receive the goods to resolve quantity issues or to request a PO change order to
resolve pricing issues. Once this action is taken, the worker will need to return to the invoice and
approve the invoice document so that the invoice can progress to the next match rule or
become available for payment. It is the action of approving the invoice that confirms the user
has performed the action to resolve the match error. It is possible that the user can approve the
invoice without taking any action to resolve the match error. As such, it is recommended that
each matching step in the BP be followed by another step with the exact same condition rules,
but routed to a different approver. This is needed so that the invoice is not approved without any
action taken to resolve the match error.
In the situation when an invoice is stuck in exception and was routed to a reviewer, the reviewer
can choose to override the exception as part of his review, which means that he is not clearing
the exception but only reviewing it. The invoice cannot be paid even though it is approved.
Then, this invoice will not show up in any settlement logic. To clear an invoice that is in
exception and move it along, the reviewer must enter a reason when he choose to override
match exception. This will trigger a job which in turn kicks off a separate event which could have
more reviews. However, if the review is denied, the invoice stays in exception.
Another option to clear an exception without requiring any intervention is when the requester,
buyer, or other role that is responsible for creating the business document themselves creates
the related document that is required to clear the exception. For example, if there is an issued
PO for which a requester/buyer has tried to create a supplier invoice and the status of the
invoice is ‘In Progress’ and ‘Match Status = Exception’ and turns out that the invoice needs a
receipt and that is what is holding up this invoice, the user can go back to the PO and via the
related actions create a receipt.
The receipt BP then initiates the match and clears the match exception and this invoice no
longer requires a review as the receipt is cleared out and revoked the review. The status of the
invoice is changed to approved and ‘Match Status = Matched’. This example shows how a
related document can clear up an exception without requiring intervention from a reviewer.

OBJECTIVES
NOTES
Once the file is imported into the Workday tenant, you can have an administrator review the
transaction and make limited error corrections. This allows you to connect the transaction to a
credit card; for example, if for some reason the credit card or employee ID that was sent in the
file is not found in the system, it can be corrected.
SUBMIT / APPROVALS
If necessary, you can go through an approval process for those verified transactions.
SETTLEMENTS
A settlement run can be started where you can generate payment for the credit card
transactions.
Tip: P-Card transactions are always corporate liability. There is no personal liability
or shared liability, and funds are never reimbursed to a worker. They are always
paid directly by the company.
SECURITY GROUPS

Procurement Settlement Specialist

• Examples include generating procurement card transaction payments
• Has approval authority for settlement business processes
When your company has a relationship with a credit card company, the card company may
have issued your company multiple credit card accounts, which are called corporate accounts or
corporate card accounts within Workday.
Each corporate card account behaves in a certain way, and all the issued credit cards
associated with that account behave per the corporate card account definition.
Worker credit cards are issued to individual named employees to be used for procurement
purchases.
For every worker credit card, there may be multiple individual transactions that relate to the
card.
When you select Procurement as the credit card usage, you are required to enter a company
and a default spend category.
Typically, a company using procurement may pay for a transaction before it is verified by a
worker. For P-Card transactions, often a company pays a statement in full, or may pay down the
statement weekly. Later, the credit card transaction can be verified to generate the appropriate
accounting.
A transaction is charged on the credit card owned by Company A, in the illustration above. You
can take that credit card transaction and you can split it with another company, like Company B.
In this example, you could either split the transaction with the same company that owns the
credit card, or you can charge it to a completely different company.
In Workday, when you navigate to the Find Credit Card Transaction File task, you can search
for all your credit card transactions. You can view credit card transactions for one or more
employees. You can set audit transactions by the specified filter prompt and identify which
transactions have not been verified.
You can search for procurement card transactions using one of more of the following filters:
When you enter the corporate credit card account that is used for procurement, you will get a
result that lists all the files that have been created for that particular credit card procurement
account.
When you drilldown into a specific file, you can see the total number of transactions within that
file. Any credit card transaction file that is identified in Transactions in New Status has not been
paid nor verified by the buyer.
You will see a list of all credit card transactions that have not been verified. For each
transaction, you will see the transaction date, the company that owns the corporate credit card,
the corporate card account company, a description of the charge, the amount of the purchase,
and the currency used. Then, you can click the OK button to see your result prior to verification.
In the Transaction region, if there was a purchase order or a supplier contract linked to your
credit card that information will be populated in the corresponding field. You can link either a
purchase order or a supplier contract to this page if you wish to do so.
In the Amount region, you can see the credit card transaction amount.
In the Transaction Details region, you can add more lines to your transaction verification if
needed. For example, you may want to split a portion of this $325.00 transaction to a different
company. If you want to split $200.00 to Global Modern Services, Inc. (USA) and the remaining
$125.00 to Global Modern Services, Ltd (Canada), you will add a line for GMS Canada. You are
required to assign a spend category. Once submitted for verification, the transaction goes
through the business process, which includes approval steps.
On the Create Settlement Run task, you are required to enter a company name which in this
case is the corporate credit card account holder, the currency used for the transaction, and a
settlement run date.
After you click the OK button, the View Settlement Run task opens.
From the View Settlement Run task, in the Selection Options region, you will select Credit Cards
and choose Procurement Card from the dropdown menu. The Select Procurement Card
Transactions for Settlement Run task opens.
You have several Selection Criteria available to narrow your search, such as Loaded Date,
Billing Date, Corporate Credit Card Account, and Financial Institution. You can also leave these
fields blank and click the Search button.
The Procurement Card Transaction region has been populated with a Company, a Corporate
Credit Card Account, a Financial Institution, Payment Amount and Currency.
When you Click the Payment Amount link, you can review all the transactions that will be paid.
After you close the popup window, mark the checkbox and click OK.
From the View Settlement Run page, you will click the Process Payment button. When this
payment is processed, Global Modern Services, Inc. (USA) will pay the entire amount for the
$325.00 charge that was split with Global Modern Services, Ltd (Canada).
Now, Global Modern Services, Ltd (Canada) needs to pay $125.00 to Global Modern Services,
Inc. (USA) for its share of the split payment.
From the View Settlement Run page, you will select the Intercompany button.
On the Select Intercompany Items for Settlement Run page, you can search for intercompany
transactions that need to be paid. You can target your search by selecting additional filters in
the Selection Criteria region. In this example, in the Originating Transaction Type field,
Procurement Card Transaction Verification was selected. You can then click the Search button.
This search returned one intercompany item to be settled for $125.00. You can mark the
checkbox and click OK.
To complete the intercompany payment, you will verify the information and click the Process

BANKING
With Workday’s banking tools, you create financial institutions, define branches for those
institutions, and the bank accounts that your company holds at each institution. You can create
both depository and source bank accounts. Account transfers, voided check recordings, and
reporting give you further control of your cash.
Before setting up banks and other financial institutions, you must define:
It is also a best practice to define the following and associate with bank accounts:
• Preferred currencies
• Check printing layout
Financial Institution - Define the business entities holding the bank accounts your company uses
to receive and make payments. (e.g. Bank of America)
Bank Account - Create or update an account to capture the attributes of a financial account with
which you bank. These accounts enable you to perform various financial activities in Workday.

SETTLEMENT OVERVIEW
SETTLEMENT
Workday delivers a single settlement engine to manage all payments generated across your
organization’s entire business for any purpose. The result is a rationalized approach to cash
visibility and management that improves upon traditional approaches which are isolated in
unconnected silos.
• Single settlement engine. Workday provides a single settlement engine to cover all
disbursements-including payroll, payables, direct debits, refunds, customer credit card
and expense reimbursement—making the settlement process more efficient with
increased control.
• Settlement analytics. Workday settlement processing provides a view across all your
outstanding in-flows and out-flows, providing the tools necessary to make accurate
decisions about funding, paying, and collecting money. Real-time drill-downs provide
dimensional analysis of the outstanding settlements which provide hard-to-get details in
a few clicks.
• Multiple payment methods. Workday Banking and Settlement supports electronic
payment processing (ACH, EDI, ISO20022), including payment returns, as well as paper
checks and positive pay.
• Support for ad hoc cash transactions. Workday Banking and Settlement provides
facilities to capture and manage "non-bank" cash including petty cash, in-person
customer payments, one-time payments, payments from employees, and acceptance of
hard currency payments.
• Business process. Workday Banking and Settlement processes utilize Workday's unique
business process framework to capture approvals and automate routings, integrations,
and reports from bank statement reconciliation through settlement and payment release.
• Reporting. Workday provides detailed reporting, including the ability to drill down across
and thru the operational transactions—the "raw materials" of cash information.
Workday's unified banking model enables you to settle all incoming and outgoing payments in
one place through a common settlement infrastructure. Within this unified infrastructure, you can
use security to grant your users access to only the types of payments that apply to them. You
also have a better overall picture of the financial inflows and outflows of your enterprise. From
payroll to supplier and customer payments, you have the analytic data necessary to make
informed decisions.
Within a settlement run, you can include any combination of these unpaid open items and
pending payments:
When ready, process the settlement run to settle payments. Workday interacts with banks to
send outbound payments and receive inbound payments.
From Settlements, you can initiate check printing, and Workday can send positive pay data to
the bank.
For electronic payments (including credit card), the banks send Workday payment
acknowledgements based on the integration associated with the bank account definition in
Workday.
Once the settlements processing completes payments, it generates the accounting entries
associated with each payment and sends it to Workday's financial accounting.
Note: Before you settle payments, you can create prenote runs that preauthorize
bank accounts by verifying account and routing information for workers, suppliers,
and customers.
• The settlement process retrieves only the unpaid items whose dates fall before this date.
• The process also settles the selected items in the run using this date as the payment
date on checks and advices.
• For electronic payments, the payment date is the date that you process the settlement
run.
• If the payment is generated outside of the settlement run, payroll, ad hoc payments, and
customer payments use the date on the associated transaction as the payment date.
For example, you might route payments coming in for customer invoices paid by direct debit so
that you deposit payments into the correct bank account.
Workday supports these categories of payment: ad hoc, customer, customer refunds, expense,
intercompany, payroll on-cycle and off-cycle, and supplier.
For each condition of the bank routing rule, you specify the characteristics of the payment
and/or worker that determine the bank account with which to make or receive payments. When
you run the settlement process it automatically evaluates the conditions of a company's bank
routing rule from top down, associating the payment with the first applicable bank account for
which it finds a match. If the settlement process does not find a match, it uses the default bank
account that you specify.
Bank routing rules apply only to payments involving standard bank accounts. You cannot define
bank routing rules for petty cash accounts.
Use the View Bank Routing Rule report to view, by company, the rule that routes payments to or
from specific bank accounts depending on characteristics of the payment and of the worker
being paid. You can edit the rule as a related action off the rule.
PRINT CHECKS
Workday delivers three business form layouts for checks and advices, each of which contain a
metadata xsl style sheet that defines the default placement of fields, company logo, and
signature on checks and advices. The business form layout that Workday uses at print time
depends on whether the printout is a financial check, payroll check, or pay slip.
To customize the default configuration of checks and advices, you can create check print
layouts. Based on the check or advice stock you've selected; you can configure a layout to:
Business form layouts assume the use of preprinted check stock. If you opt to use the default
business form layout configuration rather than define your own check print layouts, you must
use preprinted check stock. To use blank check stock, you must use check print layouts to
configure the additional fields.
Note: Users can issue a positive pay file to the bank. It is a business process in
Workday and is setup during integrations.
Business Case: Pay invoices for goods, services, and contingent labor.

In this chapter, you will learn how to perform a basic accounting flow of fixed assets and to track
custodianship of company property regardless of its accounting treatment.
OBJECTIVES
NOTES
Workday Business Assets allows you to perform a basic accounting flow for fixed assets
(capitalization and depreciation), and track custodianship of company property regardless of its
accounting treatment.
This flexibility helps you perform tasks like off-boarding employees and contractors. You can
easily see all items that the worker has, and transfer them to someone else.
Track and manage any business asset according to how it's used in the business.
1. Whether the business asset is a cell phone, cell phone plan, laptop, building, WebEx
account, or product inventory, Workday allows you to invoke inventory management
activities and controls such as stock, issue, and return for assets with the same level of
physical tracking traditionally available only in Fixed Asset Systems.
2. Track items, such as security badges, that have no individual trackable cost but for
which physical tracking is crucial.
3. Create a reportable link between issued business assets and the receiving worker. A
custody assignment can also be made a required step in the worker on-boarding
process.
SECURITY ROLES
Your asset tracking specialists can make custodianship decisions without worrying about an
asset's accounting treatment, while your asset accountants can manage the accounting for
capital assets and changes to asset cost, useful life, etc., as well as record the appropriate
depreciation throughout the asset's life. Asset tracking specialists and asset accountants have
complete visibility into all the asset lifecycle events applicable to their role. If you have multiple
asset books, key roles, such as tax manager can manage the non-primary asset books for tax
without needing access to the accounting asset book.
• Business Asset Tracking Specialist – This role can perform tasks related to business
assets, including registering, issuing, transferring, disposing, etc.
• Business Asset Accountant – This role can perform business asset accounting functions
for assigned organizations and has approval authority for business asset accounting
processes. Responsibilities may include editing asset accounting information and
recording depreciation expense.
• Tax Manager – This role can perform tax management functions for assigned
organizations, such as viewing business asset accounting and maintaining non-
accounting asset books. Tax managers have approval authority for business asset
tracking and accounting business processes.
You can use these high-level steps to configure Workday to track assets.
BUSINESS PROCESSES
Define the business processes related to asset tracking:
Tip: If you have capital assets, you must define additional business processes for
asset accounting.
Create spend categories to apply to items that are capital assets or expensed items for which
you want to keep track of owners and locations (such as security badges).
Field Description
Procurement Usage The spend category becomes available on
all procurement documents including
requisitions, purchase orders, supplier
contracts, receipts, and supplier invoices.
Track Items Select to enable custodial tracking of assets
that you assign to this spend category. This
is required to issue assets with this spend
category to workers. When checked, you
can optionally define defaults for Asset
Class and Asset Type.
Note: If a trackable spend category also has
expense usage, you must manually register
the assets you include in expense reports.
You cannot configure the expense report
business process to automatically initiate an
asset registration event.
Intangible Select if asset to track is an intangible asset.
This flag controls how intangibles are
processed within Workday, e.g. depreciation
method of ‘Term’, required contract start and
end dates, using an accrued liability style of
accounting, etc.
Disposal types drive accounting related to the disposal of goods and enable you to report on
disposals by type. High value assets that aren’t depreciable usually have an accounting
treatment of Expensed. There will be some accounting configuration needed regardless of the
accounting treatment. Disposals will record a gain or loss for any asset that has been sold
regardless of whether the accounting treatment is expense or depreciable asset.
Note: The example used in this chapter assumes that accounting has already been
configured.
Field Description
Asset Disposal Method Select whether the disposal type applies to
expired assets or those that you discard,
donate, or sell. These Workday-delivered
methods drive accounting for disposals. You
can assign the same method to multiple
types for flexibility.
Fair Market Value as Basis For purposes of calculating gain/loss, mark
this check box to base donation amount on
the fair market value manually entered at
time of disposal.
Net Book Value as Basis An asset's acquisition cost minus its
accumulated depreciation. Select to base an
asset's donation amount on net book value.
Workday uses the donation amount to
calculate gain/loss for accounting purposes.
Usage Count You can't delete types that are in use. If you
need to change the method or basis, create
a new type to use going forward.
You can use the Asset Disposal Types report to view existing ways to dispose of assets. As a
related action, you can change a type or add new ones.
You can now track your assets for spend categories that are set up for item tracking.

DEPRECIATION PROFILES
Capitalized business assets need depreciation profiles, which they are assigned indirectly by
way of their spend categories. Depreciation profiles are a prerequisite for capitalizing business
assets, but not for tracking custodianship. Depreciation profiles determine how the asset will
depreciate over its useful life. Key fields include the depreciation method (Straight Line,
Declining Balance, etc.), useful life, placed in service manually or when the asset is issued, and
the depreciation convention. Depreciation conventions determine the start of depreciation after
the asset has been placed in service. The conventions include: Current Period, Half Year, Mid-
Quarter, Mid-Month, Modified Half-Period, and Next Period. Further, the depreciation
convention also determines the amount of depreciation that is included in the calculation of the
gain/loss when an asset has been disposed.
SPEND CATEGORIES
All items that you can track must have a spend category. It is likely that the business asset you
want to track is already associated with a spend category. Spend categories are a prerequisite
for capitalizing business assets and tracking custodianship. For capitalized business assets,
make sure that the spend category has a depreciation profile associated with it. You will
associate it using the Asset Book Rules discussed in the next section.
Spend category is also used to derive the correct ledger account that should be used for the
accounting journal. You can specify this in the account posting rule set for the Spend Account
Posting Rule.

rules and the depreciation profile.

During receipt accrual processing for goods and services that you have received but not yet
invoiced, or when a purchase order or supplier invoice is approved, the asset book rules for the
company's primary asset book are used to determine the accounting treatment, as this is a key
attribute for determining whether to book the spend to a balance sheet or expense account.
For each rule, you will specify the input criteria Workday uses to determine whether the rule
applies to each asset that it evaluates:
Field Description
Spend Category Select from categories that are set up to track items
(using the Maintain Spend Categories task) or
hierarchies that contain at least one of these
categories.
Company Select a value to have the rule apply to a specific
company or hierarchy. Leave blank to have the rule
apply to all. If you specify a company hierarchy and a
Greater Than Amount value, then all companies must
have the same base currency.
Company Currency If you specify a Greater Than Amount, then the
currency of the amount is the company currency. If a
transaction's currency differs from the rule's currency,
Workday converts the transaction amount to the rule's
currency to evaluate the business asset.
Amount Greater Than Enter an amount to have Workday apply the rule.
Typically, you use this option when you use a spend
category for both expense and capital. An asset that
costs more than the amount you enter is capital; an
asset that is equal to or less than the amount is
expense. Workday defaults the accounting treatment
and depreciation profile accordingly.
Invoice Line Amount Basis If you specify a Greater Than Amount, select what you
want Workday to use as the basis to evaluate the
supplier invoice line, receipt line, or amount against
the rules. You can evaluate the invoice line based on
its unit cost (cost of a single item) or extended
amount (quantity times unit cost).
If goods are received through Procurement (and their spend category is set up to have its
custodianship tracked), then a Business Asset Tracking Specialist is automatically notified that a
receipt has been created for the goods. Workday places all the business asset information that
was on the PO onto the registration page.
Assets can also be registered by way of the supplier invoice. You can create a supplier invoice
manually, or from the related action off the receipt. The approval of a supplier invoice will
generate the accounting by debiting the account identified on the spend account posting rule
and crediting Accounts Payable.
If goods are received directly (not through Procurement), then you must enter all business asset
information manually using the Register Business Asset task. Manually registering an asset

does not generate an asset addition journal. To match the purchase, you must also make a
manual journal.
During registration, the business asset's spend category automatically determines whether the
business asset is capitalized and depreciated or simply expensed. "Items" in Workday—
expense items and purchase items—are associated with a spend category, so when you
register a business asset and select an item to be registered, the appropriate spend category is
associated by default. Once registered, all business assets can be issued to a worker whether
they are capitalized or expensed, requisitioned or not. It is this process that enables Workday to
track custodianship.
• Company
• Company Hierarchy
• Spend Category
• Amount Threshold
CALCULATE DEPRECIATION
Capitalized business assets need a depreciation profile, which Workday assigns indirectly by
way of their spend categories.
These depreciation values default to business assets when the assets are registered as
capitalized business assets. However, accountants can change a business asset's accounting
values after registration.
Tip: Transferring a business asset does not impact historic depreciation. The next
time depreciation is run; it will use the Worktags of the new worker.
The transaction displays the impairment amount as negative, because it is a reduction of the
asset's value. You can view the accounting entries on the impairment transaction's journal lines.
The journal lines display the debit and credit, and the ledger accounts where each posted.

OBJECTIVES
As of the writing of this guide there are more than 1000 delivered Standard Reports in two
distinct ‘flavors’ or types. The first type is an XpressO report. These reports are NOT able to be
copied and then customized but can generally be configured based on the restrictions of the
report format.
New columns or fields cannot be added to the report. XpressO reports CANNOT be customized
but may only be configured. At present 80% of the delivered reports within Workday are
XpressO reports and not Report Writer reports.
The second type of delivered report is a Report Writer report. Reports are accessible by
searching for Workday Standard Reports and then further defining your search by category or
multi category and are then displayed as follows:
Display in the report is the description of the report, the type of report (Report Writer or
XpressO), then whether the report is schedulable or not, and what domain controls the security
necessary to run/view the report.
The report can be run or scheduled from the Report object under the Report column as shown
above. If you want to copy the report to customize it, note the report name from the Name
column and then navigate to Copy Standard Report to Custom Report.

A 1099-MISC form is required to be filed when you pay $600 or more for goods or services from
a vendor in a year.
Tip: The $600 threshold is subject to change. Review the IRS form 1099-MISC
instructions for the current tax year to verify threshold amounts for each category.
Generally, you will need to report the payments for the following goods or services from a
vendor if the filing threshold is met or exceeded:
Step 1
• Supplier invoices to 1099 suppliers where lines have spend categories or spend
category hierarchies that map to 1099-MISC categories.
• Ad hoc payments to 1099 suppliers where lines have spend categories or spend
category hierarchies that map to 1099-MISC categories.
1. Select one or more payment types to exclude from 1099 MISC reporting.
For payments made to 1099 suppliers, Workday tracks categorized and uncategorized amounts
for 1099 MISC reporting.
The 1099 MISC Report shows all amounts paid to 1099 suppliers, including amounts below the
threshold and uncategorized amounts. Printed forms show only categorized amounts that are at
or above the threshold.
For example, you may have a supplier invoice with a Legal and Auditing Fees spend category
on the invoice line. When you pay the invoice the line amount goes toward Box: 14 Gross
proceeds paid to an attorney on the IRS form 1099 MISC for that supplier.
Step 2
DESIGNATE A PAYEE
You can designate a supplier, investor, independent contingent worker, or an ad hoc payee as a
1099 payee if you issue an IRS form 1099-MISC at year-end to summarize payments to that
payee for the year.
2. From the Tax Authority Form Type field, select 1099 MISC.
3. For 1099 suppliers, select Report 1099-MISC with Parent to consolidate 1099 MISC
reporting for parent and child suppliers.
4. For independent contingent workers, access the Assign Tax Authority Form Type to
Contingent Worker task to select the 1099 MISC tax authority form type.
Workday includes these payees and their applicable payments in 1099-MISC reporting. An
applicable payment is one paid to a 1099 payee from an invoice, ad hoc payment, or ad hoc
bank transaction that includes lines with spend categories mapped to 1099-MISC categories.
You can preview 1099-MISC reporting to ensure accuracy and completeness of 1099 payees
and their payment data before printing 1099 MISC forms.
Tip: Workday uses the payment date for 1099-MISC reporting, not the transaction
date. For example, if an independent contingent worker submits a supplier invoice
on December 25 and your company pays it on January 2, then the payment applies
to 1099-MISC reporting for the new year.
You can run the 1099-MISC report for a company or a company hierarchy. The report
summarizes data by company, showing the total amount and total number of payees. When
using a company hierarchy and printing 1099 MISC forms or filing electronically, Workday splits
the output by company.

Step 5
Step 6
Tip: To file 1096 forms with the IRS, you must use the IRS 1096 Preprinted Form
layout. The IRS 1096 Display Only Form prints the image on blank stock, but it
cannot be used to scan the report or file it with the IRS.
Step 7
Tip: To file 1096 forms with the IRS, you must select the IRS 1096 Preprinted Form
layout. The IRS 1096 Display Only Form prints the image on blank stock, but can't
be used to scan the report or file it with the IRS.
• Select a preprinted, blank, or display only form layout from the Edit 1099-MISC and 1096
Print Form Layout task.
• Create a 1099-MISC run.
• Before printing, run the Duplicate Taxpayer ID report and the 1099-MISC Supplier
Missing Taxpayer IDs report. Make any necessary adjustments.
• Use the 1099-MISC report to preview 1099-MISC reporting and review 1099 payee
payment details.
Step 8
Tip: Companies with 250 or more 1099 payees must file electronically with the IRS.
The integration system cannot upload Form 1099 files to the IRS FIRE web site; you must do so
manually. For that reason, you do not need to configure delivery options for the integration
system. Instead, you can retrieve the output files from Workday using the 1099-MISC Work
Area report. When you configure the integration system, you can specify a retention period of up
to 180 days for the 1099 files.
Step 9
The Generate 1099-MISC Electronic Filing task produces an electronic file for IRS reporting.
You can file for one or for multiple companies with single transmitter.
Use Workday's Get Company 1099-MISC Data and Get 1099-MISC web services to populate
integrations which will generate the 1099-MISC data file.
NEXT STEPS
• Send 1099-MISC forms to 1099 payees for tax filing purposes.

You can define layouts to issue purchase orders as PDF email attachments or printed files to
suppliers.
Each company can have only one purchase order print layout.
3. If you require more flexibility than the delivered purchase order print layout, use a
Custom Business Form Layout.

The company logo and signature are generated from the Workday-delivered purchase order
layout or custom layout you optionally used.
Financial messages display on each purchase order you generate with this layout. You
can include up to 3 messages.
Workday automatically uses the print layout when your company generates PDF email
attachments and printed purchase orders.
You can also edit your purchase order print layout if you need to make any adjustments using
the Edit Purchase Order Print Layout task.
NOTES
If the delivered business form layout doesn't meet your needs, you can create your own custom
business form layouts and associate them with purchase order print layouts and in some cases,
replace a delivered layout using Report Designer in Workday Studio.
1. Create your own XSL stylesheet or design a business form layout using Report Designer
in Workday Studio to define the placement of lines and boxes on the purchase order.
C. Enter the number of days for retaining purchase orders before they expire in
Resulting Document Expiration Offset (in days).
D. After the expiration time period is over, the PDF layout is no longer available and
you cannot display or print the purchase order.
G. XSL Attachment
H. Report Design
J. Add the Token Name for the company logo and signature as follows:
o company_logo
o po_signature
K. These tokens are in your XSL stylesheet or Report Designer business form
layout.
3. Access the Configure Business Form Layout task to upload images for the company
logo and signature tokens.
4. Associate your custom layout with the purchase order print layout.
C. Check the applicable Include Company Logo and Include Signature options.
When you print purchase orders, Workday uses the custom business form layout for the
company instead of the delivered one.
Workday displays the payment type, such as credit card or check, in the purchase order header.
PRINT CHECKS
Workday delivers three business form layouts for checks and advices, each of which contain a
metadata XSL stylesheet that defines the default placement of fields, company logo, and
signature on checks and advices. The business form layout that Workday uses at print time
depends on whether the printout is a financial check, payroll check, or pay slip.
To customize the default configuration of checks and advices, you can create check print
layouts. Based on the check or advice stock you've selected; you can configure a layout to:
Tip: Users can issue a positive pay file to the bank. It is a business process in
Workday.
Step 1
Step 2
Go into your Workday tenant and use the Copy Standard Report to Custom Report task and
copy the Payments to Print-Report Design report and create your client specific version (e.g.
Green Planet Payments to Print-Report Design).
There is also a DIFFERENT standard report for payroll checks, so make sure you pick the
correct one.
Step 3
Relate the new report design file from Step 1 and the Workday report from Step 2 to your
business form layout.
Here, you attach the report design file per Step 1, and the Workday Standard report created in
Step 2 above.
Step 4
Define tokens for the business form layout. Then, you can configure business form layout to
upload images for each token.
As with XSLT, you can configure tokens for logo and check signatures for your business form.
These image files can also be inserted directly into the BIRT report design.
Step 5
You can create the check print layout in Workday using the Create Check Print Layout with
Report Design task.
Give the layout a name and reference the business form created in Step 3 above.
Additionally, you can define PDF security options same as is done with XSLT check.
Step 6
You can configure bank accounts to use the new check print layout.
Update any affected bank accounts with your new check print layout from Step 5.
For clarity, there are separate prompts for XSLT and BIRT check layouts.
Step 7
Modify your report design using BIRT as required.
Step 8
Modify the Workday standard report using BIRT as required.
• For example, if there was a field not delivered in the standard report that your customer
requires, you could use BIRT to add it.
• Add fields to Workday standard report first, and then add them to the report design.
• Upload the new version of the report design file to your business form.
In some cases, you may have a field that your client wants or needs that is not included in the
Workday standard report. For this, you would simply modify the Workday Standard Report to
include this field.
