Edit Accounting Center Process Configuration

Edit Accounting Center Process Configuration

You've created an accounting source and defined header and journal line rules.
Security:
Set Up: Accounting Source – Maintain
domain in the Accounting Center functional area.
You can configure the Accounting Center Process to:
  • Specify how you want Workday to process each batch for a stage.
  • Set maximum error thresholds by count and percent for each stage in an accounting source. When errors exceed the threshold, Workday pauses the batch so that you can review the errors. You'll have to advance the batch manually.
Once you run summarization, you can't roll back and rerun the batch. Workday therefore recommends that during your testing and design phase, you set detailed accounting to progress manually.
  1. (Optional) Assign access to the
    Set Up: Accounting Source - Maintain
    domain through a constrained Roles - Source System security group.
    When you grant a user access to a domain through a constrained security group, Workday limits access to each accounting source based on the user role.
  2. Access the
    Edit Accounting Center Process Configuration
     task.
  3. As you complete the task for each stage, consider:
    Option
    Description
    Processing Options
    Select how you want to process batches for the next stage on completion of a stage.
    • Select
      Always Advance to Next Stage and Dismiss Any Errors to Next Batch
       if you want Workday to proceed automatically to the next stage and dismiss any errors to the next batch.
    • Select
      Always Advance to Next Stage and Dismiss Errors from the Batch
       if you want Workday to advance the batch automatically to the next stage and dismiss any errors in the batch to the Accounting Center Error Manager.
      Errors are available in the Error Manager once the batch completes.
    • Select
      Manually Select Next Action
       if you want to start and process the batches for the next stage manually.
    • Select
      Only Advance to Next Stage If No Errors
       if you want Workday to proceed automatically to the next stage when there are no errors.
    Error Threshold
    Specify a threshold by count, percent or both for these 2 processing options:
    • Always Advance to the Next Stage and Dismiss Any Errors to Next Batch
    • Always Advance to the Next Stage and Dismiss Errors from the Batch
    The threshold count or percent can't exceed the Workday-defined threshold of 100,000 errors for a batch.
    You can also specify a maximum error threshold by both count and percent but when errors exceed the most restrictive threshold, Workday will pause the batch. Example: A stage consists of 50,000 incoming transactions. You have set the error threshold of both 10,000 error count and 10 percent of the incoming transactions (5,000). As soon as there are 5,000 errors in the stage (10% of transactions), Workday will ignore the threshold error count, and will pause the batch.
    Count
    Specify a threshold error count between zero and 100,000.
    Percentage
    Specify a threshold percent of the transactions that are coming into a stage. The percent can be between zero and 100 percent.
