How do I add attachments to a Workday® EIB journal upload?

ModAttach™ is an Excel add-in that encodes attachment files directly into your Workday® EIB template as base64 binary data, allowing attachments to be loaded simultaneously with the journal — no manual UI navigation required.

Does ModAttach work with XML and Excel EIB templates?

Yes. ModAttach supports both .xml and .xlsx Workday® EIB file formats and works on most EIB templates where attachment data is enabled, not just journal uploads.

How does ModAttach get around the 32K character limit in Excel?

ModAttach encodes attachment files as base64 binary strings and handles the cell character limit programmatically, allowing full binary file data to be embedded in EIB templates regardless of file size.

Meet ModAttach™

Our premier proprietary tool built to reduce the friction of data loading to Workday®, especially to accounting journals, but the tool can be used for various EIB types. ModAttach is a tool within Excel that allows users to specify attachments to be loaded to Workday® at the same time the journal is loaded, eliminating the need to open each journal and make manual attachments. Journals are just the first use case — ModAttach can be used on most data loads that allow attachment data to be loaded to Workday®.

User Interface with Excel: An Add-In allows accountants to add attachment data where they are already developing the data loads — in Excel.

Template Type Scalable: ModAttach can be used on .xml or .xlsx file types.

No Data Transfer: ModAttach does not transfer data or host your attachment files. It resides on your users' machines and encodes directly there, providing an uploadable template for accountants to load to Workday® as they currently do. Only now, the attachments will make their way into Workday® automatically. No second data warehouse, folder structure, or naming convention needed.
