Security:
Set Up: Student Waivers
 domain in the Student Financials functional area.
Create student waiver item rules to:
  • Define the amount of the waiver payment.
  • Link the waiver item to the waiver item assignment.
You can calculate the waiver payment amount as:
  • An amount.
  • A percentage of the charge type or charge item.
  1. Access the
    Create Student Waiver Item Rule
     task.
    You can also select
    Student Waiver Item Rules
    Copy
     from the related actions menu to copy an existing student waiver item. Workday copies all configurable fields to the new waiver item rule, which you can change. When you save the task, Workday validates that the name is unique and creates a unique ID for the copied rule.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
