In Workday payroll configuration, is it possible to define a default posting account and modify posting condition rules?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Both true and false

Answer: (A)

In Workday payroll posting, you can control how payroll amounts flow into the general ledger by using posting rules. A default posting account acts as a fallback: if none of the posting conditions apply, the amount goes to this default account. At the same time, you can define and modify the posting condition rules themselves to direct specific earnings, deductions, or tax components to different GL accounts based on attributes like company, location, earning type, or other criteria. This combination lets you tailor postings to your organization’s accounting structure and update mappings without rewriting the entire setup. For example, you might route most wages to a wage expense account by default, but route a particular benefit deduction to a specific liability account when certain conditions are met. So it is possible to both define a default posting account and customize the posting condition rules.
