Steps: Set Up AMEX Global Credit Card Processing

Steps: Set Up AMEX Global Credit Card Processing

  • To secure the integrations, create an integration system user for:
    • Global Remittance for AMEX
    • Import Credit Cardholder File (AMEX GL1205 - MASKED)
    • Import Credit Card Transaction File (AMEX GL1025 - MASKED)
    • Import AMEX Central Travel Data File (Masked)
  • For authorized users, set up access to the
    Manage: Credit Card Data
    security domain.
You can configure AMEX global credit card processing to:
  • Load cardholder and transaction files.
  • Send remittance files with payments to credit card issuers or banks.
  • Purge obsolete credit cards from Workday.
  1. Create a corporate credit card billing account for your AMEX card issuer or bank.
  2. Create worker and central travel credit cards. Workday:
    • Creates a worker credit card automatically when you import AMEX cardholder listing files.
    • Requires you to create central travel cards manually before you load central travel card transactions.
  3. Map card issuer MCC codes to expense items, so Workday can populate their values on the expense item when workers create expense reports.
  4. Configure the integrations that fit your business needs:
    • Import Credit Cardholder File (AMEX GL1205 - MASKED)
      , to load credit cards.
    • Import Credit Card Transaction File (AMEX GL1025 - MASKED)
      , to load credit card transactions.
    • Global Remittance for AMEX
      , to generate remittance files in a global format from Workday to AMEX.
    • Import AMEX Central Travel Data File (Masked)
      , to load central travel card transactions.
  5. Schedule or launch integrations to load AMEX credit card transactions and cardholder listing files into Workday.
  6. If you settle payments directly to AMEX from Workday, AMEX requires remittance files with the payments.
  7. (Optional) Configure the integration system for
    Purge Credit Cards
    integration.
Workers can now link AMEX credit card transactions on expense reports.
  • Resolve any credit card transaction errors or issues.
  • Create a settlement run and settle payment to credit card issuers or banks. To send remittance files to the card issuer or bank, approve the payment release and approve any additional
    Payment Release Event
    business process steps.
