Create Rules for First-Notice Items

Create Rules for First-Notice Items

  • Define first-notice item condition rules.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Bank Reconciliation
     domain in the Banking and Settlement functional area.
First-notice item rules tell Workday whether to create an ad hoc transaction when the specified condition rule determines that a bank statement line is a first-notice item. Once you have created the rules, you can add them to reconciliation rule sets to use for automatic bank reconciliation.
  1. Access the
    Create First Notice Item Rule
     task.
  2. Enter a
    Rule Name
     that enables you to select this rule from among others when you create a first-notice items rule set.
  3. Select a
    Reconciliation Reason
    .
    This reason displays when the rule finds a first-notice item in the bank statement.
  4. Select
    Create Ad Hoc Bank Transaction
    .
    Workday creates an ad hoc transaction for each bank statement line considered as a first-notice item.
  5. (Optional) Specify an
    Ad Hoc Bank Transaction Template
    .
    When you leave this field blank, Workday uses the template specified for the rule set.
  6. Specify the
    Condition Rule
     that this reconciliation rule uses to identify first-notice items.
Once you have created all the first-notice item rules you need, you can create a reconciliation rule set.
To test this rule, select
First Notice Item Rule
Test
 from the related actions menu. This task prompts for an unreconciled bank statement and returns a result set with all the first-notice items for the rule you are testing. When you test the rule, Workday does not create any ad hoc bank transactions. The intention of this task is to test only the matching logic using existing data.
