Configuring Zuora Finance involves the following tasks:

Configuring Custom fields

Extend the Journal Entry object with the following custom fields populated with appropriate (default) values from Workday Financials:

  • WD_Company_Reference_ID
  • WD_Journal_Source_ID
  • WD_Ledger_Type_ID
  • WD_Accounting_Journal_ID

To configure custom fields, click your username at the top right and navigate to Settings > Finance > Manage Custom Fields. For more information, see Custom Fields.

The custom fields can have default values. However, the 'WD_Accounting_Journal_ID' field will not have a default value because the connector populates it with Workday Accounting Journal IDs after accounting journals are successfully posted to Workday Financials.

Configuring Segments

A segment is an association with a field on a Zuora object. After configuring segments, data for these segments is automatically included in your journal entries.

To configure segments, click your username at the top right and navigate to Settings > Finance > Configure Segments. For more information, see Configuring Segments.

When you perform a journal run, you may add segments to a segmentation rule to determine how your transactions are segmented into journal entries.

Configuring general ledger segmentation rules

A general ledger segmentation rule determines how your journal entries are segmented when you perform a journal run. A general ledger segmentation rule contains a set of segments, and transactions are grouped into summary journal entries according to the transactions' values for those segments.

Transactions are grouped into summary journal entries based on the following fields:

  • Transaction type
  • Currency
  • Debit account
  • Fields associated with the active general ledger segmentation rule

To configure GL segmentation rules, click your username at the top right and navigate to Settings > Finance > Configure GL Segmentation Rules.

For more information, see Configuring GL Segmentation Rules.

Creating a journal run

Journal runs create journal entries suitable for importing into your general ledger. 

To create a journal run, click Finance > Journal Runs and click New Journal Run.

For more information, see Create a Journal Run.
