Run Revaluation

Run Revaluation

  • Configure the
    Revaluation Run Event
     business process and security policy.
  • Define and group revaluation rules.
  • If the revaluation rule creates a reversal, open the next period. See Steps: Create and Open Ledger Years and Periods.
  • Security:
    Process: Revaluation
     domain in the Financial Accounting functional area.
As part of your close process, run revaluation for a specified company or group of companies. You can revalue foreign currency journal amounts based on your revaluation rules for a fiscal period. You can choose to run revaluation at the end of the period or on a specified revaluation date.
When you run revaluation in a new fiscal year, ensure you first roll forward prior year balances to create beginning balances. If you want to rerun roll forward, mass cancel the revaluation results and rerun revaluation for all periods.
Automatic revaluation supports incremental processing. If you rerun revaluation using the same criteria more than once in a period, the process only adds the incremental amount to the preceding run in the new result. Example: You reprocess because of an incorrect exchange rate.
If you need to run the complete revaluation again, cancel the existing revaluation result and rerun the revaluation.
You can see pending revaluations on the ledger period status tasks.
  1. Access the
    Run Revaluation
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Revaluation Group or Revaluation Rule
    Select from active revaluation groups or rules.
    Revaluation rules are associated with the specified companies and company hierarchies. If a rule includes a specific book code, the revaluation is for that book code only. If the rule requires the creation of a reversal journal, that reversal period must be open to submit the revaluation request.
    When you run the revaluation for a group, you can only select companies or hierarchies specified on a given rule within the group.
    Company
    The revaluation process creates a separate revaluation result for each company.
    Revaluation as of Date
    Select a date on which to create revaluations. Workday uses the currency rates in effect on this date to revalue your balances.
    When you select
    Current Day
     or
    Prior Day
     from this prompt, Workday calculates revaluations based on the current date or the date of the previous day.
    When you select
    Select Date
    , Workday displays a date picker for you to select a date for revaluation and then uses this date to calculate revaluations. The selected date must be within an open ledger period.
    If the selected revaluation rule is configured to create reversals, Workday displays the Reverse
    Next Day
     check box.
    When you run revaluation with a specified
    Revaluation as of Date
    , Workday includes activity or balance input journals dated up to that date.
    Fiscal Period for Revaluation
    Workday uses the end date of the selected period for the revaluation.
    When you select a
    Revaluation as of Date
    , Workday populates this field automatically.
    Reverse Next Day
    Displays when you select a
    Revaluation as of Date
     and the revaluation rule is configured to create reversals.
    Select this check box to automatically set the
    Revaluation Reversal Date
     to the day after the
    Revaluation as of Date
    . When you don't select this check box, the reversal defaults to the first day of the next fiscal period.
    Revaluation Reversal Date
    Populates to the first day of the next period. To change the date, enter a reversal date that is after the run date. Workday posts the reversal journal when the ledger period for the selected date opens.
    Workday populates this field when you enable the
    Create Reversal
     option on the revaluation rule.
    When you select a
    Revaluation as of Date
     and the
    Reverse Next Day
     check box, Workday populates this field with the day after the
    Revaluation as of Date
    .
For each company, the revaluation result creates the revaluation journal, target result lines, and offset result lines in the specified period based on the revaluation group or rule you select.
Workday also initiates the
Run Revaluation
 business process for review and approval of these revaluation results. If the business process includes an approval step, the journal remains in a
Proforma
 status until the reviewer approves or denies the revaluation results. For denied revaluation results, the business process updates the journal status to
Canceled
. For approved revaluation results, the business process:
  • Posts the results to the revaluation journal.
  • Updates the revaluation journal to
    Posted
     status.
  • Creates and posts a reversal journal in the next period or on the specified date, if the revaluation rule requires it.
If you rerun the entire revaluation, you can cancel the original revaluation result. Use the
Find Revaluations
 report to locate the result, and from its related action menu select
Revaluation Result
Cancel
.
To cancel all
Approved
revaluation results for an open or closed period, use the
Mass Cancel Revaluation Results
task.
When you enable the
Always Reverse Operational Journals
 option on the
Edit Tenant Setup - Financials
 task, Workday creates reversal journals for the canceled revaluation result.
