Set Up Accounting Center Cancel Batch Event Business Process

Set Up Accounting Center Cancel Batch Event Business Process

Configure the
Accounting Center Cancel Batch Event
business process and security policy in the Accounting Center functional area.
You can configure the
Accounting Center Cancel Batch Event
business process to enable you to approve or deny cancellation requests for Accounting Center batches originating from primary sources and Accounting Center Detailed Journals. You can configure additional steps, such as 1 or multiple approval steps before you cancel an Accounting Center batch.
  1. (Optional) Assign access to the
    Process: Accounting Center
    domain through a constrained Roles - Source System security group.
  2. Edit Domain Security Policies
    Configure the security policy on the
    Process: Accounting Center
    and the
    Process: Accounting Center Detailed Journals - Cancel
    domains for a constrained Roles-Source system security group.
  3. Edit Business Processes
    Configure the
    Accounting Center Cancel Batch Event (Default Definition)
    business process.
    Add an
    Approval
    step before the cancel batch or job process.
    Add other steps such as an Integration step to run a
    Data Change Task
    or a
    Publish
    step to update custom reporting tables.
You can cancel batches by accessing the
Find Accounting Center Batches
report. From the related actions menu of the batch you want to cancel, select
Accounting Center Batch
Cancel Accounting Center Batch.
Workday initiates the business process to approve cancellation requests.
When you add an approval step, Workday doesn't process a cancel batch job until you approve them.
