updatConfigure Custom Validation Messages

  • Define custom validations by transaction type.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Custom Validations
     domain in the Common Financial Management functional area.
Create custom validation messages to display to workers when Workday triggers a transaction validation. If you don't create a custom message, Workday displays the description of the custom validation instead.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Custom Validations
     report.
  2. Select the type of transaction.
  3. From the related action on a validation, select
    Validation
    Configure Validation Message
    .
  4. Enter a custom validation message.
    Your message can include static
    Text
     as well as dynamic
    External Field
     values from report fields and calculated fields.
Workday displays your message, when workers create transactions that meet the conditions for the validations. The message can be a warning or an error that instructs the worker on how to resolve the condition.
