You are an implementer, and your customer requires multiple organization units of the same type. Each of these organizations have unique government issued identifiers and must group financial transactions on separate ledgers.
Which delivered organization type should you create?
Workday's foundation organization types each serve specific purposes, and the Company organization type represents a legal entity capable of holding government-issued identifiers such as tax IDs, and of being assigned its own ledger for financial reporting. The Official Workday Pro Procure-to-Pay Guide identifies Company as the appropriate organization type when an implementation requires multiple units of the same type, each carrying unique government identifiers and grouping financial transactions on separate ledgers, since these characteristics, tax identification and ledger assignment, are defining features of the Company organization type. Option A is incorrect because Location organizations track physical sites and do not carry government tax identifiers or ledger assignments. Option B is incorrect because Company Hierarchy is a structure used to group and roll up companies for reporting, not an organization type that itself holds a tax ID or ledger. Option D is incorrect because Cost Centers track departmental or functional spend within a company and do not have their own government identifiers or separate ledgers; they post into the ledger of the company to which they belong.
