Steps: Set Up Multicompany Awards

Steps: Set Up Multicompany Awards

Set up awards in Workday to define the rules necessary to capture costs, calculate facilities and administration, and bill your sponsor.
You can set up multicompany awards to maintain intercompany transactions between a managing company and its affiliate companies. Multicompany awards enable you to:
  • Manage awards with a single company on the award header.
  • Capture spend for affiliate companies on the award line.
  • Eliminate intercompany transactions on customer invoices.
  • Bill the managing company for charges incurred by affiliate companies.
  • Calculate award costs processing for facilities and administration and revenue recognition separately for each affiliate company.
  1. Access the
    Edit Company Intercompany Profile
    task and configure affiliate companies to enable intercompany transactions.
    1. Select the
      Initiate Allowed
      check box to enable the company on the
      To
      column.
    2. Select the
      Record Intercompany Receipt
      check box when you want Workday to generate intercompany receipts after completion of a settlement run.
    3. Select an active bank account on the
      Bank Account for Intercompany Receipt
      prompt. Workday records the intercompany transactions with the company on the bank you select.
    Security:
    • Set Up: Company Accounting
      domain in the Common Financial Management functional area.
    • Set Up: Payroll - Company Specific (Accounting)
      domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
  2. Access the
    Create Award
    task to create your award.
    To create a multicompany award, you can select award line companies that are different from the award header company, provided the award line companies are enabled to initiate intercompany transactions with the award header company in the intercompany profile.
