Custom validation now in place for External Committee Members

A custom validation is now in place to assist in ensuring External Committee Member (ECM) records include necessary address information. This validation is in effect specifically within the Expense Report Non-Worker business process.

If an External Committee Member record is selected for use within the Expense Report, an address must also be on the ECM’s record, or the following error will be encountered: “Address required on External Committee Member record for expense reimbursement regardless of Payment Type selected. To Resolve this Error: Please add an address onto External Committee Member record.”

Information on how to add or edit address information on an ECM record can be found within the Create External Committee Member reference guide under the section titled “Edit an External Committee Member’s Home Contact Information.”

Accurate address information should be included for all ECM records to mitigate instances where checks are printed without addresses, to avoid delays in sending reimbursement, and to prevent issues with returned payments. This validation applies to all ECM payment types, including:

• Check
• Direct Deposit
• Wire

Questions regarding this validation step may be submitted via the Workday Service Desk.
