Steps: Create Central Travel Cards

Steps: Create Central Travel Cards

  • Configure the integration file templates that you want to import central travel card data with. Ensure that the file includes the unique identifier for the expense payee.
  • For AMEX integration templates, ensure that the file uses the
    Workday AMEX Central Travel Data
    specification for U.S. and Canada central travel cards. For EMEA region central travel cards, ensure that the file uses the
    Global TMKD File
    Option D specification.
You can:
  • Set up and manage central travel cards.
  • Enable roles to manage central travel card transactions for specific organizations.
Workday imports central card transactions through the credit card integrations and automatically assigns them to expense payees for expense inclusion.
Create a central travel card for your company to:
  • Import central travel card transactions to expedite expense report creation.
  • Track and analyze company spend.
  1. As you create a corporate credit card billing account for central travel, select:
    • Expense
      usage.
    • Corporate
      payment responsibility.
    • Electronic Load Only
      .
  2. As you create a central travel card, select:
    • The
      Corporate Credit Card Billing Account
      configured for the central travel card.
    • The
      Central Travel Card
      credit card category.
    • The
      Organization
      to use the central travel card. Central travel cards can be associated with 1 or more organizations.
    Alternatively, create the central credit card through the integration if you plan to import central travel data through a dedicated external file for Visa and MasterCard. If using a dedicated central travel card file, you must append the credit card name with
    CTC
    . This configuration enables Workday to distinguish between worker credit cards and central travel cards and prevent the creation of worker credit cards.
    For MasterCard integrations, ensure the
    EmployeeId
    field in the MasterCard CDF3
    AccountInformation_4300Type
    record is empty or not present.
  • Load central credit card transactions into Workday through an external file downloaded from the card issuer.
  • If the transaction is missing the expense payee or incorrectly assigned, access the
    Assign Central Travel Card Transactions
    task.
