Record external cash activities in Workday to include in your intraday cash positions.
  1. Access the
    Create External Cash Activity
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Cash Activity Date
    On intraday cash position reports, Workday includes only the transactions that match the specified cash activity date.
    Currency
    Select the currency to use for the external cash activity transactions.
    On intraday cash position reports, you can select to display multicurrency transactions using the reporting currency or bank account currency.
    Debit/Credit
    The debit and credit transactions display as inflows and outflows on the cash position reports.
    Counterparty
    (Optional) Select a predefined counterparty, or create an ad hoc counterparty to associate with the payment or receipt. These include suppliers, customers, investors, or any user-defined counterparties.
    On the cash position reports, you can drill down on each cash activity to view the counterparty for the transaction.
    Processed
    (Optional) When Workday processes the pending external cash activity, select to remove it from the calculated closing balance and update the bank account balances on intraday cash position reports.
    Worktags
    (Optional) Select a cash activity category worktag to associate with the transaction. The cash position reports use the worktags to group bank statement lines by the type of cash activity.
    If you don't select a worktag, Workday groups the transactions under
    Other Inflows
    or
    Other Outflows
    on the reports.
You can generate a current day cash position using bank statements and external cash activities for more accurate reporting.
Use the
Find External Cash Activities
report to review and track all of your external cash activities.
You can also access the
Edit External Cash Activity
task from the related actions menu of an external cash activity to edit and change the details.
