Concept: Calculated Dates

Calculated dates are used to specify dates you want to use as a constant in your business processes.

You can use the

Maintain Calculated Dates

task to enter the name of a calculated date that you want to display in the

Due Date

column of a business process step. In the

Initial Date/Initial Calculated Date

column, you can either select:

Initial Date	Enter a specific date if you want the calculated date to calculate from that date.
Initial Calculated Date	Enter the name of another calculated date. Use if you want this calculated date interval to be added to another calculated date interval.
None of the Above	Use if you want the calculated date to be calculated from the start date for the business process or step.

Workday recommends you set the

Pre Increment Amount

and

Pre Increment Interval

fields to specify the amount of time to add to the starting date. Example: If you’re creating a calculated date called 1 Fortnight, set the

Pre Increment Amount

to 2 and the

Pre Increment Interval

to weeks.

You can use the

Post Increment Amount

and

Post Increment Interval

fields to specify the amount of time to add to the day of the Start or End of an interval.
