All data in the Finance API is sourced from the current Workday end-to-end testing tenant (Wisc7). You can find out more about this and other Tenants in the ATP Sharepoint site.
In practical terms, this means:
- Finance API data is based on real-world Peoplesoft data, but new snapshots are only taken every few months. The data in the API may be out of date.
- Testers frequently update the data to ensure their changes flow through integrations correctly. This often includes adding fake records, changing names or other fields, or deactivating records. This test data will be reflected in the Finance API.
- You shouldn’t use the data from the Finance API in real production use cases yet.
Nonetheless, the data is substantially similar to what will be available at go-live, so you can develop your integrations based on the current state of the API. We make every effort to avoid breaking changes, and when they’re unavoidable, we give plenty of notice and provide a migration plan for affected users.
