Define Position Budget Structures

Define Position Budget Structures

  • Create a fiscal schedule, posting intervals, and fiscal year for the company for position budgets.
  • Create an account set for the company for position budgets.
  • Establish the dimensions used for the position budget.
  • To enable only certain members to select ledger account summaries in position budgets, define specific members of the ledger account summary for the account set.
You can create or update the structure of a position budget and implement position control for your organization or company. This structure specifies the filtering dimensions and other factors that define your position budgets. A company can have only 1 budget template per structure.
  1. Access 1 of these tasks:
    • Create Plan Structure
    • Edit Plan Structure
  2. Select
    Position
    as the
    Plan Type
    .
    If you edit a budget structure that's in use, you can only change:
    • The name.
    • Structured dimension with values not in use on budget or budget lines for the structure.
    • Primary worktags.
  3. Select the corresponding
    Schedule
    , and select an annual fiscal summary from the
    Summary Schedule
    prompt.
    An annual fiscal summary combines all periods in the annual position budget. Because position budgets require approval, Workday automatically enables the
    Use Amendments/Approval
    option. This ensures that the business process requires position budget approvals.
  4. Select the
    Account Set
    for the fiscal schedule you selected.
  5. Define
    Structured Dimensions
    to filter budget criteria, and associate the dimension types (such as Business Unit, Cost Center, Fund, Grant, Pay Component, Position Restriction, Program, Project, or Region) to the members.
    1. Select 1 structured dimension as the
      Organizing Dimension Type
      for position budgets. Example: Select the
      Pay Component
      dimension include Deduction: Fringe Benefit Commitment, and Earning: Base Pay - 12 Months for specific members.
  6. Select the dimension and require it for entry on each budget line. If you select the dimension as the
    Organizing Dimension Type
    , you must require entry of the dimension.
  7. To associate positions to the budget structure, define the job family membership.
The budget structure is available for creating a position budget.
Create a budget template that associates the budget structure and company to use for the position budget.
