My Favourite : Workday 23 Feature

You all know Workday has comeup with the version 23 update last month. Of all the new features that offers, my favourite feature is "Check Print Configuration using BIRT".

I would like to go a little futher to show you how much impact it will have on a person working for a Workday Payroll implementation. When you have workday payroll implemented for a customer, they have two choices for making the payments. One is to outsource their check print and direct deposits to a third party vendor like ADP or Ceredian and the other is to build in-house configurations for these ACH and Check Printing.

The check print configuration needs a custom business form layout which can be generated using XSL. There is another option to create a business form layout using BIRT (Business Intelligence Reporting Tool). But this BIRT based custom business form layout was not allowed to be used for chekc print configuration until WD 23.

I will be using this new feature soon and will share my thoughts on that.

If you want to know how to do a complete check print configuration, we will cover that in our coming posts. Untill then have a nice one.

  1. Thank You for appraising about the new feature. This is really exiting. By any chance can you throw some light on BIRT tool in Workday and its usage ?
