A rollup account called Total Operating Expenses aggregates the balance of the child accounts called Salaries and Rent. If the Rent account is removed from the Adaptive Planning model, what will be the immediate impact on the formula and data?
A.
The formula and data will be automatically transferred to the remaining child account, Salaries.
B.
The formula and data will be automatically reassigned to the rollup account, Total Operating Expenses.
C.
The formula and data will be permanently deleted across all versions and levels.
D.
The formula and data will be preserved within an archived leaf account in the system.
In Workday Adaptive Planning, when an account is deleted from the model, all associated formulas and data stored in that account are permanently and irreversibly deleted across all versions and all levels. There is no automatic transfer, reassignment, or archiving mechanism. The system does not migrate data to sibling accounts or parent rollups upon deletion. This is a critical and irreversible action — once the Rent account is removed, its historical actuals, plan data, and any formulas are permanently lost from the model. This behavior underscores the importance of data backup and version control before performing structural changes. Administrators should export or archive data before deleting accounts. The rollup account Total Operating Expenses will continue to function but will now only aggregate the remaining child, Salaries. Any reports or dashboards referencing the deleted Rent account will return errors or blank values.
