Manage Financial Planning Configurations

Manage Financial Planning Configurations

You can use the financial planning configuration manager to build your Adaptive Planning model when you have Adaptive Planning with Workday Financials or when you have Adaptive Planning and Consolidation (AP&C). Each has different prerequisites.
For AP&C:
For Adaptive Planning with Workday Financials:
  • Work with a Workday-certified implementer to set up this feature and its security. If you don't have access to an implementer, contact your Customer Success Manager or Named Support Contact to engage Professional Services.
  • Set up financials in Workday.
For both Financials and AP&C:
  • In Workday Adaptive Planning, create and register for orchestration the Workday data source credential for the Adaptive Planning instance you want to configure.
  • On the API client that you use for the data source credential, change the scope to include all the functional areas for the data sources and report fields on your planning application.
  • Security:
    • Set Up: Adaptive Planning
       domain in the System functional area. Ensure that you're assigned to a security group with Modify access on this domain.
    • Set Up: Financial Planning
       domain in the Adaptive Planning for Financials functional area. Ensure that you're assigned to a security group with Modify access on this domain.
You can configure and activate the financial planning configuration manager in Workday to reduce the time it takes to set up Adaptive Planning models and data. The financial planning configuration manager automatically creates Adaptive Planning:
  • Level hierarchies by concatenating Workday dimensions according to actuals.
  • Dimensions, dimension values, and dimension attributes.
  • Asset, liability, equity, and income statement accounts in the Adaptive Planning General Ledger account hierarchy, mapped to Workday ledger account summaries.
  • Time strata for default and alternate calendars.
  • Corporate and reporting currency with currency exchange rate mapping. For AP&C this includes 1 translated currency that loads to actuals in the currency without the need for exchange rates in Adaptive Planning.
  • Actuals version. For AP&C, this includes currency versions.
  • Actuals from managed journal line summaries in Workday.
  • Integration data sources.
  • Integration metadata and data loaders.
  • Integration tasks with metadata and data refresh schedules.
  • Workday external systems.
You can configure dimensions like Cost Center, Company, and Location to load into Adaptive Planning as list or hierarchical dimensions.
Adaptive Planning creates the levels and dimension values after the task completes.
Links to view objects in Adaptive Planning function only for tenants configured with User Sync.
You can only edit the Workday custom reports created by the configuration setup from within the financial planning configuration manager.
Once you create a financial planning configuration manager, you can continue to edit it until you activate. After you activate the financial planning configuration manager, you can still make and activate these changes:

    Review Changes and Activate
     page, instead.
  14. Activate Scheduled Tasks for Planning Configuration Manager
    only once, after the first time your implementer completes the
    Select Instance & Activate
    page.
  15. When you change activated applications, either activate or discard your changes on the
    Review Changes and Activate
     page.
We automatically create custom reports in Workday that you can't edit or delete. We use these custom reports in the load to Adaptive Planning.
We append (Active) to the name of the financial planning configuration manager in Workday. You can view the statuses by accessing the
View Planning Applications
 task.
Metadata values load on your configured schedule. To troubleshoot orchestration errors, you can manually trigger the orchestration task from Design Integrations in Adaptive Planning.
In Adaptive Planning:
  • Create formulas.
  • Create additional accounts.
  • Build your standard sheets.
  • Create your financial plan, which you can publish back into Workday.
If you no longer want to automatically update Adaptive Planning, reset the orchestration task in Design Integrations in Adaptive Planning. Select
Reset Orchestration
 to clear all of your Adaptive Planning integration data sources, loaders, and tasks. When you reset, the financial planning configuration manager no longer updates Adaptive Planning. Resetting doesn’t remove any data or metadata that already loaded.
You can reregister for orchestration to:
  • Reactivate the orchestration tasks.
  • Enable your planning instance for configuration in the financial planning configuration manager in Workday.
