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 ICI and Workday. ICI integration with Workday provides a seamless user experience to work with the business data from both ICI and Workday.

This integration gives ICI the capabilities to tag Worker Data (for example, Employee ID, Employee Name, etc.) and Worker Role, and map them to the relevant ICI 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 ICI that allows negotiating and managing the Contract through ICI, 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
   

ICI Side Configuration

Use the Configuration tile in the ICI application to specify the mapping details between Workday and ICI 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 ICI application.

2. Click Configuration > Create Contract Type on Dashboard. 

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 ICI 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

Attributes

This section captures important details of the Masterdata you are creating. The integration between ICI and Workday is restricted to the attributes listed below. 

Click the plus icon to create them: 

• Name
• Client Name
• ICI Entity Name
• Client Entity Name
• ICI Attribute Name
• ICI Relationship Key
• Client Reference Key

• Data Type: String
• Is Default: Off 
• Is Editable: On
• Is Mandatory: Select Off
• Tracking Attribute: Off
• Is Unique: Off 
• Defined by Rule: Off 
• Is Inherit: Off
• Is Searchable: On 
• Is Conditional: Off
• Is Lookup: Off 
• Is Localized: Off
   

Display Preference

Select any four attributes that you want to display on the agreement tile view and agreement details view and click Next. The Team section is displayed. 

Team

This section shows the existing team members along with their roles for the Masterdata Contract Type.

Click the plus icon to add a user with the Approver role to the Contract Type Masterdata team.

This is the final section for creating the Contract Type Masterdata. It displays only the sections and attributes that you used to create this Masterdata Contract Type. 

1.Verify the information you entered in the previous sections. You can go back and make changes or click Create.
2. Send the Contract Type for approval.
3. After Masterdata is approved, publish the Masterdata Contract Type to make it available for Agreement creation.

5. Select the Masterdata Contract Type.

6. Click Next. The Attributes tab opens.

7. Enter relevant attribute values in the respective fields.

8. Click Save. The cross reference mapping will be created.

Client App Entity Mapping

This maps ICI attributes with Workday attributes. Therefore, when an amendment is set for auto-renewal or to reset the expiry date in ICI, all attributes are automatically synchronized with Workday. For example, to map the attribute Name between ICI and Workday, you must create the Client App Entity mapping.

1. Click Home > Configuration > Masterdata > Create Masterdata.  The Create Masterdata page opens.

2. Select Client App Entity Mapping.

3. Click Next. The Details tab opens.

4. Select the Category from the drop-down. For example, Default.

ICI-Workday Adapter support for mapping of multi-level array type attributes

Workday has many multi-level array type attributes; however, the existing ICI-Workday adapter supports mapping of only single-level attributes with ICI.

Now, the ICI-Workday adapter extends support to allow mapping of multi-level array type attributes from Workday to ICI and vice versa.

Administrators can now:

• Map multi-level array attributes from Workday to ICI such as multi-line addresses (for example, address line 1, address line 2, zip code, city, etc.) for a specific address type (for example, business address, correspondence address, and so on), and spend categories (for example, printing, supplies and consumables, services, and so on) so that it synchronizes with ICI Supplier Masterdata.

• Add or select multi-level attributes such as spend category, department, work tags and cost center data as part of Supplier Contract Types and Associated Documents, so that when an agreement is created or updated in ICI, it automatically synchronizes with Workday.

Mapping Multi-level Array Attributes from Workday to ICI

The multi-level array attributes mapping from Workday to ICI provides the ability to map Workday Supplier address line attributes (for a specific address type) and spend categories with ICI Supplier Masterdata so that they synchronize with ICI Supplier Master attributes.

For example, to map the attribute Address Line 1 from Workday to ICI, you must create the Client App Entity Mapping.

The multi-level array attributes mapping from ICI to Workday provides the ability to add or select multi-level attributes such as spend category, department, work tags and cost center data as part of Supplier Contract Types and Associated Documents, so that when an agreement is created or updated in ICI, it automatically synchronizes with Workday goods lines items.

For example, to map attributes such as spend category and work tag cost center from ICI to Workday, you must create the Client App Entity Mapping.

Creating Goods Line Items in ICI

1. Create a Goods Line Item as a part of the associated document for the agreement you have created in ICI. For example, Work Tag Cost Center.
