In composite reports,summarizations are driven by Detail Data fieldsprovided by each subreport. If you want to summarize results consistently byLocation across the entire composite report, Location must exist as aDetail Data field in every subreport.
Workday requires this consistency because composite-level summarizations rely on common fields across all subreports. If Location is missing from even one subreport’s detail data, Workday cannot reliably aggregate or align summarizations by that field.
From the Workday HCM Reporting documentation:
“To summarize composite report data by a specific field, that field must be included as detail data in all subreports.”
“Drillable fields enable navigation but do not support composite-level summarization.”
Including Location as drillable only affects drill-down behavior, not summarization. Including it in only one subreport results in incomplete aggregation.
