Setup Considerations: Settlement Run Filters

Setup Considerations: Settlement Run Filters

You can use this topic to help make decisions when planning your configuration and use of settlement run filters. It explains:
  • Why to set them up.
  • How they fit into the rest of Workday.
  • Downstream impacts and cross-product interactions.
  • Security requirements and business process configurations.
  • Questions and limitations to consider before implementation.
Refer to detailed task instructions for full configuration details.

What It Is

Workday settlement run filters automatically add unpaid open items and pending payments that meet a specified criteria to a settlement run.

Business Benefits

With Workday settlement run filters, you can:
  • Reduce errors and manual effort.
  • Identify specific unpaid open items and pending payments quickly and easily.
  • Define custom filters.

Use Cases

Workday automatically provides predefined filters for common settlement run scenarios, such as
All Available Ad Hoc Payments
and
Due in Next 7 Days
. If these predefined filters don't fit your use case, you can set up custom filters that do. Example: You create a custom filter that identifies all ad hoc payments with check as the payment type.

Questions to Consider

Questions
Considerations
What payment sources do you need filters for?
Workday delivers predefined filters for all payment sources.
You can create custom filters for any payment source. You can add 1 or more payment sources to a single custom filter.
What happens when you select multiple filters in a single settlement run?
Workday retrieves data for each selected filter. The selected filters don't interact with one another.
Example: You select 2 filters in a single settlement run,
All Available Ad Hoc Payments
and
Due in Next 7 Days
. As a result, Workday returns all available ad hoc payments as well as everything due in the next 7 days.

Recommendations

When you have recurring open items or pending payments to settle, Workday recommends automating this process by adding settlement run filters to scheduled settlement runs.

Workday creates and settles these payments. The payment date is the settlement date.
Supplier Invoice
Workday creates and settles these payments. By default, the payment date is the settlement date. You can enable dynamic supplier payment date to match supplier payment dates dynamically based on:
  • Invoice discount date.
  • Invoice due date.
  • Settlement run date.
