Why did numbers in Adaptive Planning change after an import?
The Adaptive from Workday help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: An import replaces any data already held at the same location, so a new file can change figures that were there before.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Adaptive from Workday help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
An import replaces any data already held at the same location, so a new file can change figures that were there before.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
If data exists in the system at the same location, the import replaces it.
Concept: Import Data, read 2026-11-12.When a later import file leaves out data an earlier file loaded, that earlier data stays, so a corrected file can leave old figures behind.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
That existing data will remain after the second import.
Concept: Import Data, read 2026-11-12.Uploaded data is mapped automatically to the best fit for its contents, so figures can land on an account or level other than the one intended.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
On upload, your data automatically maps to the best fit for the data contents.
Concept: Import Data, read 2026-11-12.A transaction import that does not remove existing transactions first adds to them, so loading the same period again can add the same transactions twice.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
If you select No, your import adds to the existing transactions.
Import Transactions, read 2026-11-12.
How do I check it myself?
When importing transactions, check whether the import was set to remove existing transactions for the dates it covers before it began.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
If you select Yes, you can provide a date range and select which transactions to remove before the import begins.
Import Transactions, read 2026-11-12.If numbers look only partly changed right after an import, wait and look again, since the import finishes in the background and in rare cases takes some minutes.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
In rare instances, this background process can take up to 10 minutes to complete.
Concept: Import Data, read 2026-11-12.
How does Adaptive from Workday work with Feder?
- Connect Adaptive from Workday to Feder and it joins your Money apps.
- When you connect Adaptive from Workday, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Adaptive from Workday, one of your Money apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Adaptive from Workday.
