I’m working with a client where some cash receipt / AR transactions are being “reconciled” through manual journal entries instead of using Workday bank reconciliation functionality (First Notice rules, Ad Hoc Bank Transactions, or manually matching/reconciling the bank statement lines).

Example:

• A bank transaction comes in on the statement
• Instead of matching/reconciling the line in Workday Bank Reconciliation, the AR team books a manual journal entry against cash/AR
• The original bank statement line therefore remains permanently in an “Unreconciled” status in Workday

From my perspective, this seems problematic because the bank statement activity and reconciliation process become disconnected from the accounting entries.

My questions:

• Are there downstream impacts or risks to leaving bank statement lines unreconciled indefinitely?
• Have others seen this approach used in practice?
• Does this create audit, reconciliation, reporting, or operational issues later on?
• Would you consider this an anti-pattern in Workday Banking & Settlement?

How can we provide Cost center managers access to project/gift/grants statement and make sure they only have access to those projects/gifts/and grants related to their cost centers.

many suggest to assign them specific gifts/grants/projects roles but it can become frustrating having to assign all these roles.

any idea?
