Concept: Data Entry in Period Schedule EIB Spreadsheets

Concept: Data Entry in Period Schedule EIB Spreadsheets

To upload a period schedule, you can create an EIB based on the
Put Period Schedule
web service. You can then enter data in a spreadsheet that corresponds to the inbound EIB.
These examples illustrate how to complete the EIB spreadsheet for the
Put Period Schedule
web service.
Examples: Add A New Period Schedule
You want to upload a period schedule with a monthly frequency from January 2018 to April 2018. You’re going to use the period schedule for Workday Payroll, and Absence Management.
Add these rows to the EIB spreadsheet:

Period Schedule Name
Frequency

Period Start Date
Period End Date
Payroll Payment Date

If you leave the
Period Schedule ID
blank, Workday generates a new reference ID when you import the sheet. This new reference ID can cause duplicate period schedules if you run the same EIB spreadsheet multiple times.
The
Payroll Payment Date
field is only for Workday Payroll and Workday Payroll Interface usage.
Example: Modify Existing Period Schedule
You want to modify the payroll payment date for a period in an existing period schedule.
Enter these columns in the EIB spreadsheet:
Spreadsheet Key
Period Schedule ID
Period Schedule Name
Frequency
Period Data (Row ID)
Period Start Date
Period End Date
Payroll Payment Date
Period ID

Period_3
Ensure that the
Period Schedule ID
and
Period ID
fields refer to the existing period schedule and period. When you enter a new
Period Schedule ID
or leave the field empty, Workday creates a new period schedule.
Example: Create Forward Accruals
You have a biweekly period schedule for January and February. You want to set up forward accruals for the last period of each month when there are remaining days in the month after the period end date.
Enter these columns in the EIB spreadsheet:
Period Data (Row ID)
Period Start Date
Period End Date
Payroll Payment Date
Payroll GL Accruals
Days to Accrue
Days in Basis
Accrual Date
Accrual Reversal Date
