Create Alternate Account Set Mappings

Create Alternate Account Set Mappings

  • Set up account posting rules for the corporate account set.
  • Define alternate account sets.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Accounts
    domain in the Common Financial Management functional area. See Steps: Set Up Security Permissions.
You can create alternate account set mapping to:
  • Name your forward and reversal alternate account set mapping.
  • Select the preferred input and output account sets.
  • Use the preferred input and output accounts to configuring mapping rule conditions for your alternate account set mapping rules.
  1. Access the
    Create Alternate Account Set Mapping
    task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Name
    Reversal Mapping Name
    Name your forward and reversal alternate account set mapping.
    When you create mapping rules, Workday derives the reversal mapping from the alternate account set mapping rule conditions and switches the
    Input Account Set
     and
    Output Account Set
     selections.
    Input Account Set
    Output Account Set
    Select the preferred input and output account sets.
    When you configure mapping rules, select input accounts and output accounts. Workday uses these account sets to derive the alternate account set data.
    For the reversal account set mapping, Workday switches the input and output account sets. You can only use an input and output account set mapping combination once.
    Example: You have Account Set 1 (AS1), Account Set 2 (AS2) and Account Set 3 (AS3). You map AS1 to AS3.
    • You can't create another account set map combination for AS1 to AS3 nor AS3 to AS1.
    • You can create an account set mapping combination for AS1 to AS2.
Configure rule conditions or condition values in your alternate account set mapping rules.
