Roll Procurement Documents Forward

Roll Procurement Documents Forward

  • Create fiscal years or ledger periods.
  • Create procurement documents.
  • Set up procurement commitment accounting roll forward.
  • Configure the
    Procurement Roll Forward
    business process and security policy in the Procurement functional area.
To roll remaining commitments and obligations forward to the next fiscal year, you can group procurement documents in roll forward requests.
  1. Access the
    Roll Forward Procurement Documents
    task.
  2. As you filter documents, consider:
    Option Description
    Roll Forward Source Fiscal Year
    Workday recommends you select a value to roll forward purchase orders from prior fiscal years. When you select a value, Workday uses the:
    • Last day of the source fiscal year for the liquidation date.
    • First day of the next fiscal year for the roll forward and budget date.
    When you don't select a value, you can duplicate liquidations when you roll forward the same purchase order twice.
    Procurement Document Type
    To roll commitments from supplier contracts forward, configure the supplier contract type to create obligations. See Steps: Create Supplier Contracts.
    Last Activity Date On or After
    Last Activity Date On or Before
    Filter documents using the date of the most recent activity, such as:
    • Receipts and supplier invoices on purchase orders.
    • Sourcing on requisitions.
    When a company on a purchase order line has a different base currency than the company on the header, Workday generates obligation and liquidation journals based on the base currency of the line company. These columns on the resulting
    Procurement Documents
    grid display blank values:
    • Total PO Amount
    • Total Amount
    • Amount Invoiced
Workday routes the request for approval.
Reviewers access the
Review and Revise the Selected Documents
task and evaluate whether to exclude any documents in the request.
Access the
Trial Balance
report to view commitment and obligation balances for ledger periods and fiscal years.
