One record per physical site: plant, distribution centre, office, store or lab, with its codes in every system and its calendar, address and roles.
Objects are read through Workday web services and RaaS reports; the rows stay in Workday.
| Object | Read from | Fields the domain uses | Freshness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Get_Locations | Location_ID · Location_Name · Address · Time_Zone · Location_Usage | live through web services; reports on schedule |
| Location hierarchy | Get_Location_Hierarchies | Superior_Location | live through web services; reports on schedule |
The first object above carries the strong keys; the standardised attributes come from the same rows. Two site records with the same geocode and a different role are one site with two roles, and the rules keep them together.
Writes go through the Workday web services (Put operations) with the reference id; each call returns the id or the error, logged beside the change.
| Interface | Used for | Result |
|---|---|---|
Put_Location with the golden site id as Location_ID | golden values approved for write-back: identity; codes; roles | the id or error Workday returns, stored beside the change |
Write-back is off per object until a test write succeeds, and approval rules can require a person per object. Reconciliation compares the source row with the golden value on a schedule.
Workday security groups are mapped to Lima policies once; personal data stays under the HR policy.

The golden record reads the objects above in place. History the pivot needs at scale is landed in your lake by the Backbone, under the same keys, security and audit.
Grant the read access and the write interfaces listed above and agree the refresh method. Nothing is installed in Workday.
Yes. Write-back stays off per object until a test write succeeds; the golden view, the API and the pivots work from day one on reads.
Bring two systems that hold the same customers, suppliers or materials. In one working day we connect them, run the match on live rows, review the queue with your steward and publish the first golden view with its API.
