Concept: Financial Reporting
Workday provides standard financial accounting reports so you can analyze activity and meet financial statement needs. You can display, download, and print Workday reports in tabular or graphical formats. Workers can report only on ledger accounts to which they have permission using configurable ledger account security.
You can run reports in any currency that you have configured. When you select a translation currency on a report, Workday translates amounts recorded in the company base currency rather than the transaction currency. To revalue journals recorded in currencies other than the company currency, access the
Run Revaluation
task.Statutory Reporting
In addition to standard reports, Workday provides these tools to create statutory reports:
- The Report Writer for customizing standard reports.
- Journal Connector for loading accounting data from an external source into Workday.
- Integration with a third-party service to enable statutory reporting.
Standard Financial Reports
Most financial reports are fiscal period based, meaning that once you run a report for a closed period, you can’t change its content.
Workday delivers standard reports and a financial statement generator. Use the financial statement generator to define the content of the report by specifying rows and time periods.
Custom Reports and Data Sources
You can create your own reports using the Workday Report Writer tool. Workday defines financial information to enable you to add required data to your report.
