Set Up Bank Routing Codes

Set Up Bank Routing Codes

Security:
Set Up: Settlement
domain in the Banking and Settlement functional area.
Bank routing codes enable you to specify the bank account from which to settle payments on:
  • Miscellaneous payment requests.
  • Supplier invoices, except recurring supplier invoices or supplier invoices that you create from the supplier portal.
  • Supplier invoice adjustments.
After you configure bank routing codes and map them to bank accounts in bank routing rules, Workday displays a
Bank Routing Code
 prompt on miscellaneous payment requests, supplier invoices, and supplier invoice adjustments. This prompt enables you to select bank routing codes used in the bank routing rules for the company on the transaction.
When you settle payments, Workday determines which bank account to use based on the:
  • Bank routing codes on transactions.
  • Bank routing rules.
Workday doesn't support bank routing codes on direct intercompany invoices.
We recommend that you only set up bank routing codes when the other bank routing rule attributes aren't granular enough to meet bank account mapping requirements.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Bank Routing Codes
     task.
  2. Add rows for bank routing code groups.
    Workday uses the bank routing code groups to organize bank routing codes in prompts.
  3. Add bank routing codes to groups:
    Option Description
    Inactive
    Select to prevent users from selecting the bank routing code on new transactions.
    Usage Count
    You can delete bank routing codes with a usage count of zero.
To pay supplier invoices associated with specific funds from segregated bank accounts, you set up:
  • Bank routing codes grouped by fund.
  • Custom validations to ensure that users populate bank routing codes when they select fund worktags on supplier invoices.
To enable users to select the appropriate bank account directly from transactions, you set up bank routing codes grouped by bank account.
To hide the
Bank Routing Code
 prompt, even when you configure bank routing codes and rules, use the
Configure Optional Fields
 task. See Configure Optional Fields.
