Concept: Purge Supplier Data

Create purge plans to delete personally identifiable information related to inactive suppliers. Purge plans help you comply with privacy regulations and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.

When you purge data, you permanently remove it from your tenant. Workday can't reverse a data purge and can't retrieve purged data.

Security

Workday recommends that you only grant the ability to purge data to users who understand the purging process and its consequences. Example: You enable access for your Supplier Administrators to the Purge Supplier
domain.

Manually remove the HR Administrator security group from the Purge Supplier
domain when you enable access for supplier administrators.

Data Purging

Workday purges certain personally identifiable information for inactive suppliers that you identify using the

Purge Suppliers

report data source to return inactive suppliers with the

Create Custom Report

task.

Workday recommends that you test the custom report and purge in your Sandbox environment before you purge any data in your tenant.

Workday enables you to create and manage purge plans for use with the

Purge Privacy Data

task. Purge plans enable you to preselect specific types of personally identifiable information for Workday to purge. You can use your plans whenever you need to purge well-defined sets of supplier data. When you run the

Purge Privacy Data

task, Workday purges only the personally identifiable supplier information that you specify in the plan.
