Steps: Create and Schedule Groups of Financial Reports in AP&C

Steps: Create and Schedule Groups of Financial Reports in AP&C

  • Define fiscal reporting time periods.
  • Define financial statement profiles.
Schedule groups of financial reports in Adaptive Planning and Consolidation (AP&C) to run at the same time. You can create different report groups to meet your needs. For a report group, you can burst a set of reports by company or cost center, generating a separate report for each company or cost center in the set.
  1. Save report filters for the financial reports that you want to include in your report group. Saved filters define preset run parameters for reports. You can use them to run recurring reports more quickly, and as criteria when you create a schedule group of reports. You can create saved filters to use in report groups for:
    • Financial statements (run with or without using a report profile) and the
      Manager Financial Report
      .
    • Trial balance
    • Ledger detail
    • Custom reports (through the Report Writer)
  2. Group financial reports so that you can schedule them to run as a single unit. You can include a bursting set in the report group to generate multiple versions of each report by company or cost center. A bursting set eliminates the need to run each company or cost center report individually.
At the scheduled time, Workday generates all financial reports in the report group by company or cost center, if the report group includes a bursting set.
  • Create a report group for month-end reporting and schedule it to run after period close.
  • Use report groups to schedule financial statements for reporting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as:
    • Annual Form 10-K.
    • Quarterly Form 10-Q.
