Why is a total lower in my Adaptive Planning report or export?
The Adaptive from Workday help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: An account or level with no export mapping is left out of an export by default, so the exported total can be lower than the plan.
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 account or level with no export mapping is left out of an export by default, so the exported total can be lower than the plan.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
If an account or level does not have an Export Mapping it is excluded from the export by default.
Export Data, read 2026-11-12.A model report shows only data from modeled sheets, so amounts held elsewhere do not appear in it.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
Model reports only display data from modeled sheets.
Concept: Building Web Reports, read 2026-11-12.By default each level's amounts are exported in that level's own currency, so adding rows together can mix currencies and give a total that looks wrong.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
The default choice, "Use Level's Currency" will export each level's monetary values in the currency of that level.

How do I check it myself?
Check the time range the export shows for the accounts you picked, since it follows those accounts' time periods.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
The time selector dynamically updates to indicate the range based on the time strata of the accounts you select.
Export Data, read 2026-11-12.Look at which levels the export lists for you, since only levels you can access appear there.
In the Adaptive from Workday help:
This section lists all levels you can access.

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.
