Workday’s Create or Update Location function lets you add new physical locations or adjust existing ones so that HR, payroll, security, and reporting systems all reflect the real world.

A location record usually includes things like postal address, operational status (open, closed, temporarily unavailable), type (office, warehouse, retail, remote hub), and hierarchical tags such as region or business unit. Those details ensure that every person and process tied to a place uses the same facts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePractically, teams create a location when a new site opens, update status during renovations or incidents, correct address details to meet legal needs, or reassign a site within an organizational structure after a merger. These changes should be reflected automatically across employee records, badge systems, scheduling rules, and payroll logic.
