You created a new one-time payment plan and enabled employees to request payments for themselves. While testing, you notice that an existing custom…

The most direct and accurate method to control when a custom validation runs is by editing its condition rule. The Maintain Custom Validations task is the correct location for this configuration. Workday provides specific, context-aware fields for business process condition rules. The boolean field One Time Payment Event for Self is designed precisely for this scenario, enabling administrators to create a condition that prevents the validation from executing when an employee initiates the request for themselves, without affecting the validation for manager- or administrator-initiated requests.

B: Adding new validations does not solve the core issue, which is that an existing validation is incorrectly firing. This option fails to address the required modification of the current rule.

C: This is a security domain configuration. Removing the 'Employee as Self' security policy would prevent employees from initiating the process entirely, which contradicts the requirement.

D: This is an indirect approach. While hiding a field might prevent a validation from triggering, the correct method is to modify the validation's conditional logic directly, not alter the user interface.

1. Workday Documentation: Set Up Custom Validations. This guide details the process of creating and maintaining custom validations for business processes. It specifies the use of condition rules to control when a validation message triggers. The condition rule builder provides access to contextual fields related to the business process event

such as initiator type or specific event subtypes.

2. Workday Documentation: Compensation Core. In the section on One-Time Payments

the documentation distinguishes between the Request One-Time Payment and Request One-Time Payment for Self business processes. It explains that while they may share configuration

contextual fields like One-Time Payment Event for Self are available in validation and condition rules to differentiate between them. This field evaluates to 'true' only for the self-service transaction.
