Most traditional ERP systems allow for only a few organizational structures that are difficult to change during the normal course of business. IT teams struggle to handle the amount of change that occurs, so many reorganizations do not get recorded in a timely fashion. Delayed recording of reorganizations can lead to inaccurate information, open the doors to data errors when later transactions must be backdated, and ultimately result in a lack of confidence in the system.

Workday has resolved these issues by giving you the ability to accurately represent your organizations and act on issues in a timely manner.

Multiple Organization Types

Create and track several organization types that can all exist at the same time
Types include: company, department, region, supervisory, cost center, business site, matrix, and more
Employees can belong to any number of organizations simultaneously

Easy Reorganizations

Create new organizations (e.g., a new business site) or reorganize one organization type (e.g., supervisory reporting relationships) without modifying other organization types (e.g., cost centers)
Plan for future reorganizations that will take effect automatically on a specified date
View organizations as of a specified date—past, present, or future
Workday empowers HR departments to manage reorganizations without relying on IT, enabling changes to be recorded when they actually happen. This also reduces the need for back-dated transactions to correct for delays in recording the reorganization

Segment Report Data by Organization Type

Reports can be run for a specific organization type with data segmented by organization. For example, you can view spend by supervisory organization (manager), spend by cost center, or spend by business site

Secure Organizational Data Access

Administrators can be granted access by individual organizations and only see information within those organizations
Organizational roles (e.g., manager, HR partner, compensation partner, etc.) can be assigned to different users for each organization. Persons assigned to an organization role can only access those organizations within their role responsibilities
