Steps: Configure Commitment Accounting to Control Positions

Steps: Configure Commitment Accounting to Control Positions

You can configure Workday to post journal entries to your commitment and obligation ledgers from these transactions:
  • Fringe benefit
  • Payroll commitment
  • Payroll obligation
You can activate job requisitions to account for commitments on your unfilled positions. Job requisitions trigger the capture of job details required for commitment and obligation calculations.
  1. (Optional) Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
     task.
    This step is optional if you're only using obligations.
    Select the
    Enable Job Requisitions for Job Management
     check box in the
    Job Requisitions
     section.
    You can't switch off job requisitions after you generate commitments.
  2. Set up these rules for your commitment accounting transactions:
    • Payroll Commitment
    • Payroll Obligation
    • Payroll Earnings
    • Fringe Benefit Commitment
    • Fringe Benefit Obligation
    • Fringe Benefit Expense
    • Fringe Benefit Recovery
