Set up Cost Center Sync

The Cost Center Sync plugin enables the automatic sync of cost centers between Workday and Deel.

Cost centers are not synced directly through this plugin

Instead, enabling it performs the setup required in both systems for cost center syncing to work.

Before you begin

Parts 1 and 3 of the common setup must be complete before continuing:

• Part 1: Connecting Workday to Deel - creating an ISU, setting up security groups, an API client, tokens, and connecting to Deel
• Part 2 (DCoD setup) is not required for Cost Center Sync.

Activating domains for optional plugins

Some plugins require additional domain security policies to be active in Workday before they can be enabled in Deel. Each time you enable a new plugin, complete the steps below for that plugin before proceeding to its setup guide.

To find out which domains are required for the plugin you are setting up, refer to the Security permissions reference and locate the column for your plugin.

Step 1: Activate the required domains

1. Search for the domain using the domain: prefix. For example, domain: Set Up: Payroll Interface.
2. In the Domain Security Policy section, use the related actions to go to Domain Security Policy > Enable.

3. On the following screen, confirm the enablement.
4. Repeat for any remaining domains required for your plugin.

Already active?

If a domain is already active, skip it and move to the next one.

Step 2: Assign users or groups to domains

1. Open the domain.
2. In the Domain Security Policy section, use the related actions to go to Domain Security Policy > Edit Permissions.

3. In the Report/Task Permissions section, check that the required security groups are present. If any are missing, add them.

4. Save your changes.

To add users to the relevant security group, use the Assign Users to User-Based Security Group task.

Step 3: Activate pending security policy changes

1. Launch the Activate Pending Security Policy Changes task.
2. Enter a comment describing the reason for the change and save.
