A new Inbox Filter for Workday was created April 28 for use on match exceptions, specifically within the CCH7 cost center hierarchy. This new match exception lookup is tied to the requisition line and requisition line distribution business objects. The naming convention for this filter is “XCF_EMI_Match_Exception_CCH7.” Instructions for using it appear in the Create, Edit and Apply an Inbox Filter job aid .
Once created, this filter should deliver results accordingly.
When creating a new inbox filter:
In the "Source External Field" area, enter the new calculated filter labeled: XCF_EMI_Match_Exception_CCH7. The relational operator should state, "any in the selection list," with the comparison type defaulting to "value specified in this filter." The comparison value field should be narrowed down to your specific CCH7 cost center area or needs.
