Session Schedule - Get Started: Budget vs Actual Workday Reports

Join one of these informal sessions for help getting started with Budget vs Actual reports in Workday. Check back weekly for future session dates.

Since many now know the basics, we can be flexible and spend session time on any related questions attendees have about running/understanding your reports, and/or about any of the Workday stabilization items that impact what we see in reports (Workday FM Refinement In Progress) 

Audience:  Those with Workday role of Cost Center Manager or Finance Analyst (you would have received an email 9/24 from Wendy Helm)

If you have access but don’t need it or vice versa, please submit a Workday/Get Help request directed to Finance.
