Foundation Data Model

Post-Workday

The Foundation Data Model (FDM) is Workday’s flexible, multidimensional framework for organizing financial and operational data. It replaces the traditional chart of accounts with a tag-based structure that uses worktags to categorize and track transactions. You can use the FDM crosswalk linked here to compare current UDDS values with their corresponding values in Workday.

Pre-Workday

Account Codes provides accounting information to report expenditures according to established rules for ‘rolling them up’ in financial statements, and Accounting Services has jurisdiction/decisions on account codes applied to transactions. This field can sometimes appear to overlap with both commodity code and business purpose but is intended to drive financial reporting of expenditures and is not the same as either of these fields.
