Answer options
A: A supplier invoice match rule
B: A settlement run
C: A catalog load
D: A conditional approval step in the requisition business process Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. A conditional approval step in the requisition business process
Explanation

The scenario requires a specific approval routing based on a financial threshold. In Workday, this is managed by configuring the relevant Business Process (BP). The Requisition Business Process governs the workflow for requisitions from creation to purchase order generation. An administrator can insert an "Approval" step into this BP and apply a condition rule to it. This rule will evaluate the requisition's total amount, and if it exceeds the specified threshold of $25,000, the step will trigger, routing the transaction to the designated approver (the vice president). If the condition is not met, the step is skipped.

Why Incorrect

A. A supplier invoice match rule is used in Accounts Payable to validate invoices against purchase orders or receipts, not for requisition approvals.
B. A settlement run is a batch process used to generate payments for approved supplier invoices, which occurs after the requisition and PO stages.
C. A catalog load is the process of importing supplier item and pricing data into Workday and is unrelated to transaction approval workflows.

Workday Documentation, "Business Process Framework" Guide: In the section titled "Business Process Step Configuration," the guide details how to add, order, and define steps within a business process. It specifically covers the use of "Step Conditions" to control when a step should run. A condition rule can be created to evaluate business object fields, such as "Requisition Total Amount," to enable conditional routing. (Reference: Workday Business Process Administration Guide, Chapter 3: Business Process Configuration, Section: "Step Conditions").

2. Workday Documentation, "Procurement" Guide: The chapter on "Set Up Requisition Business Processes" explains how to tailor the approval workflow for requisitions. It provides examples of configuring approval steps based on spend categories, cost centers, and monetary amounts, which directly aligns with the question's requirement.

University of Washington, "Workday Finance Training: Business Process Basics" Courseware: This public training material explains that Workday business processes are configurable workflows that route tasks for review and approval. It explicitly mentions that "Conditional Rules" are used to direct a process down a different path based on data, such as routing a requisition over a certain dollar amount to an additional approver.
