FDM and Worktag Tips

What is the Foundation Data Model?

  • The Foundation Data Model (FDM) is a framework that supports reporting, security, and workflow in Workday.
  • The Foundation on Data Model will replace the current Chart of Accounts (i.e. FOAP)
  • Current Banner fund and org numbers will become worktags in Workday.
  • It is no longer necessary to memorize long strings of numbers, instead utilize Workday’s search functionality to find worktags.

What is a Worktag?

  • Worktags are dimensions that help identify financial transactions and categorize them for reporting.
  • Worktags entered on transactions drive workflow. For example, if a transaction requires approval, the Worktags entered may determine who it routes to.
  • Worktags can be organized into hierarchies which can streamline reporting.

Worktag Types

There are 3 types of worktags:

  1. Driver Worktags:  A type of worktag identifying the primary source that drives a transaction.
  2. Related Worktags: A type of worktag that can auto-populate based on the driver worktag entered on a transaction
  3. Other worktags:  Any other worktags that may need to be added based on the type of transaction

By entering a driver worktag, which is required on most transactions, related Worktags will be able to automatically populate their values
