Concept: DSN Manual Entry (FRA)

Concept: DSN Manual Entry (FRA)

A DSN manual entry allows you to correct DSN data. Your manual entry value in the DSN replaces the 1 generated with an existing calculation.
Workday recommends that you correct data in either the worker's profile or payroll results if you find an error in the monthly DSN. After the correction, you can run payroll again and then the
Run DSN Preparation
 task. If the worker profile or payroll result correction isn't reflected in the DSN, then you can use a manual entry to override the generated DSN block value for most blocks.
You can create a manual entry when a DSN has 1 of these statuses:
  • Error
    .
  • In Progress
    .
  • Ready For Submission
     (if the DSN isn't already included in a real submission).
Workday supports manual entries for all DSN blocks, except:
  • S10.G00.00
  • S10.G00.01
  • S10.G00.02
  • S21.G00.13
  • S21.G00.23
  • S21.G00.82
  • S90.G00.90
Example 1: Correcting a DSN Error with Manual Entry
Alex prepares a monthly DSN but a new hire, Chris, was sick the first day of their contract, 2025-11-01. When Alex runs the DSN, the sick leave-related rubric S21.G00.60.002 Date du dernier jour travaillé is empty. Alex needs to correct this so the rubric value reports the hire date as the last day of work before a sick leave.
  1. Access
    Find DSN
     and click the spyglass under DSN.
  2. On the
    Workers
    tab, click

Example 2: Creating a Child Block with Manual Entry
Pay administrator Alex needs to update a DSN to create a block that reports changes in a worker's contract information. Alex needs to create 2 child blocks, 1 for the contract information and 1 for worker information.
Before adding the child block:
  • Run DSN Preparation. See Steps: Generate DSNs (FRA).
  • Security:
    Process: DSN (Run) - FRA
     and
    Process: DSN (Submission) - FRA
     domains in the FRA Payroll functional area.
