Concept: Custom Validations for Detailed Accounting

Based on your requirements, you can create custom validations to display error messages when transactions that are created in detailed accounting from the source system or manual detailed accounting journals meet certain conditions. Custom validations prevent Workday from processing transactions in detailed accounting that you identify as invalid. You can share these validations in accounting journals as long as the fields exist in both places.

Use the

Accounting Center Detailed Journal

report field to specify whether you want to apply the custom validation condition rule only to manual Accounting Center detailed journals and not traditional detailed journals.

Select the

Accounting Center Detailed Journal

type of transaction to create custom validations. See Steps: Set Up Custom Validations.

Workday displays the error message when it processes the transactions that meet the conditions for the validations.

For Workday-delivered validations, see The Next Level: Accounting Center Configuration Guide- Delivered Validations.
