A. Configure all legacy data in Workday as-is
B.Begin mapping integrations before identifying business
dimensions
C. Identify reporting needs and design FDM to support
them

During a kickoff session, the client asks for an overview C
of what the FDM includes. Which of the following best
defines the purpose of the Foundation Data Model?
A. Storing historical HR data
B.Capturing payroll tax rules
C. Structuring key data elements for transaction
processing and reporting
D. Automating journal entry approvals
The customer wants to create a unique code block for B
each transaction. Based on FDM principles, what should
you advise?
A. Encourage it to support legacy data
B.Recommend using independent worktags instead
C. Create linked dimensions for each code block
D.Use cost center hierarchies as a workaround
, A customer asks how Workday uses worktags in C
transactions. You explain they are:
A. Used for reporting only
B. Grouped to form GL account codes
C. Attributes that describe and classify transactions
D. Assigned to integrations only
While designing FDM, you discover the customer tracks B
profitability by product. What is the correct design
approach?
A. Use a ledger account for each product
B. Create a worktag representing the product business
dimension C. Roll each product into the revenue category
hierarchy
D. Use the item description field instead
Which of the following is true about worktags? C
A. They rely on code blocks to function
B. Each worktag can reflect multiple business dimensions
C. A single worktag type must contain only one business
dimension
D. Worktags are optional for Workday transactions
In a transaction, which of the following best describes B
how worktags affect reporting?
A. They restrict data entry fields B. They allow users to
track business dimensions on each transaction
C. They limit posting to the general ledger
D. They are only visible in payroll reports
A user asks how FDM design supports scalability. The B
best answer is:
A. By enabling custom scripts to automate hierarchies
B. Through independent worktags that can evolve over
time
C. Through integration with external databases
D. Via limiting the number of worktags to 3 per transaction
A customer wants to include product line, channel, and C
region in every spend transaction. What advice aligns
with best practice?
A. Use cost centers for all three
B. Create one composite custom worktag
C. Map each to a unique worktag type
D. Rely on memo fields to track this
Why does Workday discourage designing FDM solely C
for integrations or conversions?
A. It complicates tax setup
B. It increases data storage costs
C. It doesn't optimize day-to-day reporting and
transaction use
D. It slows down journal posting speeds
