FAQ: Bulk Prorate Accruals
- Where does Workday display accrual adjustments for the Bulk Automated Accrual Adjustment service step?
- When you add theBulk Automated Accrual Adjustmentservice step on theAssign Employee Collective Agreement,Change Job, orEnd Collective Agreement Assignmentbusiness processes, Workday displays accrual adjustments on theAutomated Adjustmentstab of theMaintain Accrual and Time Off Adjustments/Overridestask.
- What's the difference between the Automated Accrual Adjustment service step and the Bulk Automated Accrual Adjustment service step?
- When you add theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentservice step on the business processes, Workday evaluates adjustments to accruals on time off plans when job change transactions are processed manually or through an EIB. Workday executes the service step separately for each worker with a job change transaction.Unlike theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentservice step, Workday doesn't execute theBulk Automated Accrual Adjustmentstep separately for each worker. Instead, it flags events such asChange JoborCollective Agreementfor later batch processing. Once Workday flags an event for processing, a background job that runs every 15 minutes processes these flagged events in batches. This approach is more efficient than using theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentstep.The calculation results for the accrual adjustments are the same but it's more efficient to use theBulk Automated Accrual Adjustmentstep if you're triggering the step from a mass action or Import web service EIB. If you use separate business process definitions for web service transactions from those initiated through the user interface (UI), we recommend that you add theBulk Automated Accrual Adjustmentstep to these definitions instead of theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentstep.
- What do I need to do before adopting the Bulk Automated Accrual Adjustment service step on the Change Job business process?
- Remove theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentservice step from theChange Jobbusiness process. If you try to use both of these service steps in the same business process definition, Workday displays an error. You can use the service steps on different business process definitions. Example: If you use specific rule-based business process definitions for EIBs and others for those initiated through the UI, you can replace theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentstep with theBulk Automated Accrual Adjustmentstep within the EIB business process definition and continue to use theAutomated Accrual Adjustmentstep in your business process definitions initiated through the UI.
