Workday Financial Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

I love that I can access Workday's mobile app from my phone and snap photos of itemized receipts to use for my expense reports, which makes the entire reimbursement process a breeze! No more having to keep track of what I am spending and where by holding onto paper receipts, because now I can easily submit a receipt from anywhere, instantly using my phone!

Like

The integrations are strong and work with major systems

Like

1- Seamless integration between Finance, HR, and Procurement provides a single source of truth for the org. data, and improve accuracy for better decision making. 2- Workday's configurable dashboards and real-time insights make it easier to monitor KPIs, automate reconciliations, and support faster month-end FS closing. 3- Regular feature releases and a strong roadmap keep the platform aligned with evolving accounting standards and business needs.

Dislike

I do wish that the receipt submission process was slightly more intuitive, because I have to go into the Workday platform and rename files accordingly, which is somewhat time consuming. I also wish that I could create naming conventions for any receipts that I have added to keep consistency across my expense reports. Finally, I would love to see Workday leverage AI or other emerging technologies to streamline the reporting process and make expense reporting easier than ever.

Dislike

The AI and functionality is not up to par with peers

Dislike

1- Complex automation making the setup and data migration phases resource-intensive and requiring strong governance. 2- Limited customization in certain finance workflows and reporting layouts. 3- Licensing and integration with 3rd-party tools can be quite expensive, especially for smaller subsidiairies.
