Chart of Accounts (FDM)

We are very close to having a finalized FDM!  Decision-makers in schools and units are working out their cost center structures for the Workday Financials Chart of Accounts, our FDM.  Danielle Hancock on the training team has put together seven things to consider as you develop your cost centers – check it out here.  If you’re looking for more updates on the FDM, we recommend checking out a prior blog piece on recommended worktag changes.   An important thing to note when you take a look at these worktag changes is that “Program” as a worktag, is not going away; it is just not going to be a driver worktag.

Training Update

Patty Marbury lays out the timeline for our training between now and go-live of Workday financials in July of 2022, and then after go live.  Read more here.  

Customer Confirmation Sessions, Round 2

This June will see the next round of customer confirmation sessions.  We have a shiny new second version of UVA’s tenant of Workday Financials that’s been modified based on our stakeholders’ feedback from the first round of Customer Confirmation sessions at the tail end of last year, and the team is eager to answer the questions folks had from those first sessions, to show off the new version of the tenant, and to have good discussions with folks on what needs to happen next as we move forward.

Reporting & Analytics Update

The Reporting & Analytics team is hard at work to make sure that on day one of Workday Financials at UVA, you have all the reports you need. You might be shocked to know how many required operational reports there are out there, that the Reporting and Analytics team has to ensure are ready on day one.  Make your guess and then find the answer here.
