Concept: Ledger Account Restriction by Company
When you create an account set with 1 or more ledger accounts restricted by company or company hierarchy, Workday applies the restrictions to these operational journals:
- Commitments and obligations for both payroll and fringe benefits (CAN, FRA, UK, USA).
- Commitments and obligations for payroll (AUS).
- Forward accruals.
- Payroll accounting adjustments.
- Payroll actuals and fringe benefit actuals (CAN, FRA, UK, USA).
- Payroll actuals (AUS).
Before setting any ledger account restrictions, you need to use the
View Account Posting Rule Set
report to review the account posting rules. Correct any invalid company and ledger account combinations.During payroll processing, Workday validates whether each ledger account is valid for the company. If an invalid ledger account is used, the journal is created in
Error
status.Invalid ledger account errors can occur when:
- Account posting rules assign a ledger account to a company that is invalid.
- An existing journal is rerun after creating or editing ledger account restrictions.
