Award Costs Processing Jobs

When you create a spend transaction, Workday initiates the award costs processing job to create the F&A and cost reimbursable spend transactions and generate the corresponding journal lines. When an award costs processing job fails, it can leave behind incomplete or erroneous accounting that you have to subsequently correct by reprocessing award costs for the transactions. You can identify failed award costs processing jobs with the process monitor to determine which transactions to reprocess:
  1. Access the
    Process Monitor
    task to check for failed jobs by filtering on:
    • Process Type
      =
      Job
    • Status
      =
      Failed
    • Process
      =
      Award Costs Background Process
  2. Drill down on the value in the
    Errors & Warnings
    column of the failed job row to view the reason and time for the failure.
  3. Drill down on the request in the
    Process
    column to identify the transactions in the failed job.
  4. Access the
    Reprocess Award Costs
    task to reprocess the transactions in the failed job.
