Steps: Process Basic Account Certifications in AP&C

If you don't already use basic account certification, we recommend that you explore the Account Reconciliation feature. We don't plan to enhance basic account certification in future releases. See Setup Considerations: Account Reconciliation in AP&C.

In Adaptive Planning and Consolidation (AP&C), you can set up a process to:

Create basic account certifications and assign certification roles to specific employees.

Decertify basic account certifications that have ledger activities or ledger balance changes.

Workday then routes the certification or decertification to employees with the assignable roles for their review and approval.

If you're using worksheets, you can enter amounts to certify in a workbook and submit the workbook and certification for review and approval.

(Optional) Create Account Reconciliation Template Definitions in AP&C.

You create a template if you want to use Worksheets to reconcile and certify your account balances.

(Optional) Access the

Create Policy Purpose and Procedure

task.

You can create a Policy and Procedure document to identify company policies and procedures for reconciling account balances for period close. You can share these Policy Purpose and Procedure documents across the Certification Sets and Certification Definitions.

If you are already using Basic Account Certification Definitions, you can create and add the Policy Purpose and Procedure document to an existing account certification using the

Edit Account Certification Set

task within the

Maintain Basic Account Certification Sets

task.

For new Basic Account Certification Definitions, you can add the Policy Purpose and Procedure document when you create a new account certification set within the

Maintain Basic Account Certification Sets

task.
