Example: Correct Time Off Entries Using the Adjust Time Off EIB

Example: Correct Time Off Entries Using the Adjust Time Off EIB

This example illustrates how to generate an EIB spreadsheet template with data for the
Adjust Time Off
 web service operation to correct time off entries. Workday removes time off entries corrected to zero from third-party calendars.
You want to adjust existing time off entries by passing in the adjusted units and not the corrected amounts. You'll create a custom report for your time off entries and run the report to help you populate the EIB input file with the report results.
  1. Access the
    Create EIB
     task.
  2. Enter a
    Name
     value. Example:

    Spreadsheet Key
    Specify a unique value for each worker.
    Run Time Off Validation
    Set to
    Y
     if you want to validate time off entries for the time off request. If any time off entries fail validation for a time off request, Workday rejects the entire time off request.
    Worker
    This is a required value. You might need to change the reference ID value in cell D4 of the spreadsheet from
    Contingent Worker ID
     to
    Employee ID
    . The default value is
    Contingent Worker ID
    . Columns that include
    ID Type
     values enable you to select a reference ID type for each row of data. Example: If you’re loading employees and contingent workers in a single EIB, select the reference ID type for each person or row.
    Row ID
    This is typically a value of
    1
     for each entry, unless you have multiple row entries for the same worker.
    Time Off Entry ID
    If you want to assign a reference ID to the newly created correction event, enter a value here. If you leave the field blank, the web service automatically assigns a value.
    Time Off Entry
    Reference ID of the time off entry that you're adjusting. Use the value from the custom report.
    Adjustment to Requested
    Enter the number of units to add or remove from the time off entry. Example: If you want to adjust the time off from 8 hours to 6 hours, enter -2. This isn't the correction value.
