Steps: Upload Customer Contracts
You can add new customer contracts or update existing, unapproved customer contracts in
Workday from a spreadsheet using Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB). The spreadsheet
includes sections for customer contract and contract line data. You can also assign
worktags to specific business objects like locations, cost centers, or projects.
You can submit the contracts or save them in draft mode. In addition, you can optionally
lock the contracts in Workday to prevent editing or cancellation. However, Workday
doesn't recommend locking customer contracts because it prevents you from amending the
contracts in
Workday.
After you approve contract, you can't make contract amendments through web services,
either.
When successfully completed, the upload automatically triggers the
Customer Contract
Event
business process. Workday can complete approvals automatically, bypass
reviews and To Do tasks, and skip Notifications in the Customer Contract Event
business process. To enable these options, select the Auto
Complete
option when you prepare the spreadsheet. After you successfully load the data into Workday, you can view the customer contracts
by accessing the
View Customer Contract
report. - EnterSubmit Customer Contract (Web Service)at theTemplate from Web Service Operationprompt.
- From the related actions menu of the integration system for the upload, select .To maintain the correct spreadsheet format, don't change the .xml file extension.Security:Integrations: EIBs,Integration Configure, andIntegration Eventdomains in Integration functional area.
- To customize the template, edit the template model of the EIB.
- Workday determines whether to add or update customer contracts based on your entries in theAdd OnlyandCustomer Contractspreadsheet columns:
- To add a new contract, enterYin theAdd Onlyfield and leave theCustomer Contractfield blank. In theCustomer Contract Datasection, enter a newCustomer Contract IDvalue. Enter this value if you want to assign a customer contract reference ID instead of Workday generating it during the upload.
- To update an existing contract, enterNin theAdd Onlyfield. Specify the reference ID of the existing contract in theCustomer Contractfield. Leave theCustomer Contract IDfield blank, unless you want to update the existing customer contract ID to a different value.
