    Is anyone in the community using Maximo with Workday Financial Connector ?

    We are moving to Workday and would like to discuss your experience and pitfalls.

    Our big issue is understand the Workday financial structure (Drivers/Drivers Tags etc) and how this will impact Maximo.

    Much Thanks

    Hi Keith-

    NTMWD will be engaging in a WD implementation in a few months.  I too am coming from the financial perspective.  Did you get any traction with your post?  

    Thanks - Have a great day!

    Hi Keith,

    We are currently evaluating the connector for implementation with one of our client.

    Thanks,

    Hi Keith,

    I was the technical lead for the development of the Maximo/Workday connector from IBM.  For the financial aspect, we enabled a few interfaces that can send the worktag data back to Maximo, where it creates a GL component.  However, Workday does not keep a GL string like other ERP systems do.  Instead, they rely on the rules they build into these worktags to derive the "natural" account where a transaction is booked to.

    The integration capabilities are summarized in this site:

    https://ibm.github.io/IBM-Sustainability-Software-Portfolio-Connectors/mas-workday-home/

    Unfortunately, the diagrams are currently not working, but I've reported this and hopefully will be fixed soon.

    Essentially, the financial setup requires you to download the worktags to the GL components, then assign combinations to Maximo objects like work orders, labor, tools, and storerooms.  As Maximo generates journals, these are then sent to the WD journal import.  

    I'd be happy to answer any other questions you may have.

    Regards,

    Carlos Marin

    Hi Carlos-

    Although we are not as far into the journey as Keith/University of Louisville, we are about to embark on the WD implementation and will also have an integration with Maximo.  It's been challenging finding a resource (someone that has optimized Maximo and is fully integrated with Workday) to discuss their utilization of the two systems.  This information that you provided is excellent – THANK YOU!!

     

    Have a great day!

    Cindy
