FDM Maintenance Manager
Why FDM
Manual Foundation Data Model (FDM) changes slow down your close, increase error risk, and create audit headaches. FDM Maintenance Manager is a Built on Workday app for Finance and HR teams that brings updates into Workday—no disconnected forms, email approvals, or spreadsheet-driven chaos. Just clean, auditable, Workday-native FDM governance.
- Automated FDM component creation
- Guided, dynamic request forms
- Real-time validation & error prevention
- Full audit history & reporting
- Native approvals & routing
From request to audit: one Workday-native lifecycle
01 · Request
Submit FDM changes through a guided, configurable Workday-native form that adapts to the type of change.
02 · Validate
Check completeness, hierarchies, and existing structures in real time, before changes reach the FDM.
03 · Approve
Workday business processes handle routing and approvals with full visibility and notifications.
04 · Create
Approved FDM components are created automatically in Workday, accurately and consistently, with no re-keying.
05 · Audit
Every change is logged and reportable throughout its complete lifecycle.
