Concept: Transaction Revalidation

Concept: Transaction Revalidation

When you view certain transactions that use custom validations, Workday carries forward any custom validation errors and warnings from the last time you saved the transaction. Because Workday isn't validating every time, you can view transactions quickly, which is useful if you have many custom validations and transactions lines. Use the
View Exceptions
button on the view report for the transaction to verify whether errors and warnings still apply. Workday displays exceptions on the
Errors & Warnings
tab.
Transaction revalidation applies to:
  • Accounting journals
  • Ad hoc bank transactions
  • Ad hoc bank transaction templates
  • Ad hoc payments
  • Asset registration
  • Expense reports
  • Payment elections
  • Spend authorizations
Workday always checks transactions against the latest custom validations whenever you create, edit, or submit the transactions. Workday also checks for the custom validations when you modify or approve transactions as part of the
Review
business process step of the transactions business process. If you view a previously valid transaction and take a related action on it, Workday ensures that it's still valid and has no exceptions.
