Sneak Peek FAQs, Volume 3

 

After the first round of Customer Confirmation sessions, Change Leaders from across Grounds hosted "sneak peek" sessions in their areas so that more people could get a glimpse of the first build of UVA's Workday Financials tenant.

The result was lots of great questions (244 to be exact). Many of those questions could be answered during the sneak peek sessions, but about 35% are still yet to be addressed. The Change Management Team is working on getting answers to those and on sharing answers to the most commonly-asked questions.

NEW:  This week's questions and answers come from our Customer Confirmation Sessions, Round 2!  You can see more answered questions in the slides from CCS sessions on the Community: Click here to visit!

Previous Sneak Peek blog pieces:



We need to be able to enter transactions in bulk, not line by line.  Is there bulk upload capability in Workday?

Yes, we have developed an ISD Integration packet and have been meeting with units to discuss the file layout.  Many Internal Service Provider areas and contacts are also included in the System Remediation Network.

Where are we going to do budget vs. actuals analysis?  Will we still be able to compare against the original budget? 

Budget vs. actuals reporting will be available in both workday and Adaptive Planning an will depend on the user and use case.  Comparison against the original budget will be available.  See this blog post for more details on budgeting in the future state. 

Is fiscal year carryforward an automatic or manual process?

The FST team is still working through a solution to SG/LG carryforward; otherwise, if you own the funding source, fund balances will flow through the system and be visible to the user.
