, Q1. In a Workday financial data load, which data transformation is essential to
ensure that a legacy GL account mapping aligns with Workday's hierarchical account
structure?
A. Direct mapping of legacy account codes to Workday account codes without
modification
B. Mapping legacy account codes to Workday Worktags, then converting to account
numbers
C. Using a lookup table to translate legacy codes to Workday account IDs, including
hierarchy and roll-up rules
D. Replacing all legacy codes with new Workday codes based on alphabetical order
Correct Answer: C. Using a lookup table to translate legacy codes to Workday
account IDs, including hierarchy and roll-up rules
Rationale: Workday uses hierarchical account structures; a lookup table ensures accurate
mapping and preserves roll-up relationships, which is critical for financial reporting.
Why Wrong:
A - Direct mapping ignores hierarchy and may break roll-ups.
B - Worktags are not the same as account codes; this is incorrect.
D - Alphabetical replacement is arbitrary and not based on business logic.

Q2. During a large EIB load for supplier invoices, you encounter a 'Missing Required
Field' error for the 'Company' field. Which diagnostic step is MOST effective to
identify the root cause?
A. Check the EIB file for empty Company cells and manually fill them
B. Review the EIB template's field mapping to ensure Company is correctly mapped to
the source column
C. Re-run the EIB with the 'Validate Only' option to see all errors at once
D. Contact Workday support to fix the error
Correct Answer: B. Review the EIB template's field mapping to ensure Company is
correctly mapped to the source column
Rationale: The error often stems from incorrect field mapping in the EIB template, so
reviewing the mapping is the first diagnostic step.
Why Wrong:
A - Manual filling may not address the root cause if mapping is wrong.
C - Validate Only helps but doesn't identify mapping issues directly.
D - Support is not the first step; internal diagnosis is encouraged.
