Workday Adaptive Planning + Ledge Integration
With the Workday Adaptive Planning integration for Ledge, budget and forecast data is automatically pulled into the month-end close, aligned to your finance team’s workflows and assumptions, so variance analysis and forecast-backed analyses are ready for review—not rebuilt manually.
Turn planning and forecast data into close-ready support—without rebuilding spreadsheets
The result is close work that’s repetitive, error-prone, and time-consuming. Accountants rebuild the same budget vs actual views, reconcile forecasts to the GL, and rewrite explanations every period.
Ledge removes that rebuild with AI agents that finance oversees. Workday Adaptive Planning becomes a direct input to the close, and agents prepare the work automatically using the same logic every month.
What makes Workday Adaptive Planning + Ledge different
Budget and forecast data is essential for explaining period-over-period and budget-to-actual movement. With Workday Adaptive Planning connected to Ledge, agents pull the exact planning views required for each close task and prepare the supporting workpapers automatically—rather than relying on late-stage exports.
Planning systems are optimized for modeling and forecasting, not month-end accounting review. Ledge agents rebuild close support using the latest approved Adaptive Planning data, aligning forecasts, accrual assumptions, and variance drivers with reconciled GL balances each period.
How the Workday Adaptive Planning + Ledge integration works
Securely connect Workday Adaptive Planning to Ledge using a native, lightweight integration. Setup is fast and flexible enough to support multiple models, versions, and entities.
Use Ledge’s Agent Studio to configure how Adaptive Planning data supports your close. Describe the workflow in plain language—such as budget vs actual comparisons, forecast-based accrual support, or variance thresholds—and create a custom agent in minutes.
Each period, agents automatically pull fresh planning data, rebuild Excel workpapers with live formulas, and prepare analysis before the task is opened. Your team reviews and approves instead of rebuilding.
Forecast-driven close work, prepared automatically
Prepared work, not manual rebuilds
Budget vs actual schedules, forecast comparisons, and variance drivers are built automatically every close.
Excel-native outputs
Agents generate fully editable Excel workpapers with live formulas, rollforwards, and clear traceability back to Workday Adaptive Planning and the GL.
Review instead of preparation
Accountants focus on judgment, exceptions, and approval—not exporting data and fixing spreadsheets.
Consistent, auditable analysis
The same logic runs each period, reducing close variability and making explanations easier to defend.
Full visibility inside the close
Adaptive Planning–driven tasks are tracked alongside the rest of the close, with clear ownership, status, and approvals.
FAQ
Workday Adaptive Planning is treated as a planning and forecasting data source that feeds agent-driven close workflows. It is not a standalone reporting or reconciliation tool.
No. Ledge works alongside your ERP and planning systems. Adaptive Planning data is used to prepare close work, while posting and final balances remain in your ERP.
Yes. Ledge is Excel-native. Agents generate Excel workpapers that your team can open, review, and adjust as needed.
No. Ledge is human-in-the-loop by default. Agents prepare the work; accountants review and approve before anything posts.
What is Ledge?
Ledge is an agent-driven close management platform where AI agents don’t just track progress—they execute close work under finance direction and oversight.
Each close task can have its own agent that pulls data from systems like your ERP, banks, HRIS, AP platforms, CRMs, billing systems, and planning tools like Workday Adaptive Planning. Agents prepare reconciliations, schedules, flux analysis, and draft journal entries before the task is even opened.
Ledge combines close orchestration, Excel-native workpapers, and human-in-the-loop approvals in a single platform—so the close runs on prepared work, not manual rebuilds.
