The Workday implementation will provide efficient processes in financial management, providing a single source of financial data for the U of A System office, decreasing discrepancies and providing enhanced reporting capabilities.
The foundation data model (FDM) is a set of codes used to classify and record financial transactions in Workday. See our local Workday glossary for more terms.
The FDM will provide the ability to attach common keywords (known in Workday as "worktags") to financial transactions. Worktags allows the university to effectively report and analyze data by labeling information shared between business areas (finance, HR, payroll, and student).
