If you create EIBs to mass load data into Workday, you may find the newly published Complete an Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) Template job aid helpful. Key concepts include how to structure a transaction using spreadsheet key and row ID (with common examples), the general process for uploading an EIB template to Workday once it’s prepared, and how to troubleshoot failed uploads. Use this job aid, found in the Finance section of the Administrative Resource Center, in conjunction with the task-specific EIB templates you use to upload data.  

Workday has two major releases of enhancements and new functionality annually. The second release of 2021, named 2021R2 by Workday, is scheduled for Saturday, September 11, from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Workday will be unavailable during the maintenance period.

Many of the changes coming in the release are behind the scenes and will not be immediately noticeable. A Workday 2021R2 job aid is available in the Administrative Resource Center that explains the system changes that will be noticeable in more detail.
