Icertis Experience for Workday
Icertis Experience for Workday is a highly configurable and comprehensive solution that enables data synchronizing capabilities for mapping business objects between ICM and Workday. ICM integration with Workday provides a seamless user experience to work with the business data from both ICM and Workday.
This integration gives ICM the capabilities to tag Worker Data (for example, Employee ID, Employee Name, etc.) and Worker Role, and map them to the relevant ICM user attributes which can be referred and used across application as required.
Icertis Experience for Workday supports following sample use cases:
- Create Supplier Contracts in ICM that allows negotiating and managing the Contract through ICM, but only tracking the status in Workday
- Synchronize the amended and renewed Supplier Contracts from Icertis to Workday
Icertis Experience for Workday offers many benefits:
- Measure supplier performance with access to more detailed information
- Manage the entire process throughout the entire life-cycle of the Agreement
ICM Side Configuration
Use the Configuration tile in the ICM application to specify the mapping details between Workday and ICM by creating Masterdata records for mapping entities. Data Mapping involves the following two primary tasks:
- Creating Masterdata Contract Type
- Creating Masterdata records for mapping entities
Creating a Masterdata Contract Type
Masterdata Contract Type is the core data that changes less frequently and has a unique ID associated with it. For example, Employee Records can be a Masterdata Contract Type and Employee ID can be an attribute associated to that Masterdata Contract Type.
1. Log on to the ICM application.
2. Click Configuration on Dashboard. The Configuration page opens.
3. Click Create Contract Type on the Configuration page. The Select Contract Type page opens and shows the following options:
- Agreement
- Associated Document
- Masterdata
- Contract Request
4. Select Masterdata on the Select Contract Type page and click Next. The Create Contract Type page opens, which consists of these five sections:
- Details
- Attributes
- Display Preference
- Team
- Verify
Each of these sections is described in detail below.
Details
Enter the following basic details of the Masterdata in this section:
- Contract Type Name: Type the name in this field as Client App Cross Reference Mapping. Note that Client App Cross Reference Mapping is an example provided here for the list of Masterdata you need to create. This Contract Type is used for mapping entities between ICM and Workday.
- Contract Type Code: Every Contract Type is assigned a unique ID known as Contract Type Code. The Contract Type Code is generated automatically when you create the Contract Type.
- Enable Approval Workflow: Select Yes to enable the approval workflow.
- Two Column Attribute Layout: Select Yes to enable a two-column attribute layout

Workday Side Configuration
Administrator from Workday end must create the following domain security policy permissions for creating Workday Integration security groups.
Note that, the domain security policy permissions provided below are just an example of the various security policies the Workday administrator will have to create.
ICM-Workday Adapter Support for Amendments
Previously, the ICM-Workday integration supported only Supplier contract agreements.
With this release, the ICM-Workday adapter has been enhanced to support amendments for Supplier contracts. Therefore, amendments that are created or updated in ICM are automatically synchronized with Workday, thus saving time and avoiding data duplication.
Sending Amendments from ICM to Workday
The ICM-Workday integration provides the ability to automatically synchronize amendments in Workday that are created or updated in ICM.
To enable mapping between ICM and Workday, the following Masterdata Contract Types should be configured in ICM:
Client App Cross Reference
This maps ICM Supplier Contract amendments with Workday Supplier Contract entities.
To create Client App Cross Reference:
1. Click the Configuration tile. The Configuration page opens.
2. Click the Masterdata tile. The Masterdata page opens.
3. Click the Create Masterdata tile. The Create Masterdata page opens.
This page contains the following tabs:
Masterdata Details

2. Select the Masterdata Contract Type.
3. Click Next. The Attributes page opens.
Attributes
Provide relevant attribute values in the respective fields:
The Client App Cross Reference created is displayed as shown in the screenshot below:
Setting the value of the attribute External Amendment Creation Event to AmendmentCreated will automatically synchronize any amendment created in ICM with Workday. Similarly, setting the value of the attribute External Amendment Update Event to AmendmentPublished, AmendmentUpdated, AmendmentApproved or AmendmentExecuted will automatically synchronize any amendment published, updated, approved or executed respectively in ICM with Workday.
Client App Entity Mapping
This maps ICM Supplier Contract amendment attributes with Workday Supplier Contract amendment attributes. Therefore, when an amendment is created or updated in ICM, all Supplier contract amendment attributes are automatically synchronized with Workday. For example, to map the attribute Name between ICM and Workday, you must create the Client App Entity mapping.
1. Click the Configuration tile. The Configuration page opens.
2. Click the Masterdata tile. The Masterdata page opens.
3. Click the Create Masterdata tile. The Create Masterdata page opens.
