How Phyto Nex AI works with Workday
Workday Expenses is usually configured by a Workday team that does not own T&E policy, so the business process approves on totals and spend categories. Phyto Nex AI sits beside it: it pulls report lines and receipt attachments through a RaaS report and audits each line before the expense partner step in your business process.
Your Workday administrator creates an Integration System User, adds it to an integration security group with view access to the Expense Report and worker domains, and registers a Workday API client for Phyto Nex AI. Phyto Nex AI never receives write access to business processes, so it cannot approve, send back, or cancel a report.
Worktags carry a lot of meaning in Workday. Phyto Nex AI reads company, cost center, and project worktags so findings land with the right owner, and so FAR-sensitive projects can be held to stricter DCAA travel rules than commercial work.
If your Workday tenant also handles payroll, AP-approved personal charges can be exported as a one-time deduction file. Phyto Nex AI does not create the deduction itself; your payroll team imports it after review.
Workday customers often use spend categories that are broader than T&E policy needs, such as a single Meals category for client dinners, team lunches and travel meals. Phyto Nex AI derives the finer classification from the receipt and the attendee list, so tax and policy treatment can differ within one spend category without asking your Workday team to reconfigure it. The classification is exported as a report your Workday analysts can load into a custom object or use for year-end tax adjustments, without any change to the expense business process itself.
