How are invoices imported into Workday?

Invoices are imported into Workday primarily using the Supplier Invoice workbench. This mechanism allows users to efficiently manage supplier invoices by providing a comprehensive view and tools necessary for processing them. The Supplier Invoice workbench facilitates various actions such as creating, reviewing, and approving invoices while ensuring that all relevant data is captured and aligned with business processes.

Using this workbench streamlines the invoice management workflow, allowing for better visibility and control over the invoicing process. Importing invoices through this dedicated space is designed to enhance the user experience by integrating invoice checking, validation, and approval processes into a singular platform.

While manual entry, uploading CSV files, and using a supplier's web portal are alternative methods of handling invoices in some systems, they do not align with the primary, structured approach provided by the Supplier Invoice workbench in Workday. Each of those methods may have limitations, such as potential for errors with manual data entry or additional steps required to ensure data accuracy and consistency. The workbench is, therefore, the preferred and most efficient method for handling invoices within the Workday environment.
