The "Positions for Planning" report will be updated the evening of Monday, August 12. In order to pull in the new "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" journal source data successfully, the “region” filter and column was removed from the report. This integration was created for FY24 year-end to fix the encumbrances for the last biweekly payroll of the year.

Starting Thursday, August 15, new “Edit Position Restriction” and “Create Job Requisition” business processes will no longer require "Default Compensation" information to be entered or updated. This will streamline these two business processes, and HR Consultants, managers or cost center managers will no longer need to complete this step. Please share this change with others in your respective unit.

Please remember to take prompt action on in-progress or created journals before business day 5 of month-end close. This will help limit the high volume of transactions that the Controller's Office needs to move and/or cancel to close the period. Workday notifications issue a reminder to take action on journals on business day 4, and reminder emails are sent to the Cost Center Manager distribution list on day 5 as an additional reminder.

There is a Workday case open due to reported issues where journal EIBs are stuck in a queued status for a few hours before being created. If you notice that you are affected by this issue, please do not resubmit the EIB, as it will slow things down further and duplicate journals will be created that need to be cancelled. When this occurs, please be patient, the queued EIB journals eventually get created after a few hours and you will be able to submit them at that time. 

There is a new Supplier Invoice Request course available in BuckeyeLearn that instructs users on how to create a Supplier Invoice Request. This 20-minute course reviews the Supplier Invoice Request process.

Below are details about reporting changes in production as of July 29.

Business Assets Reporting:

The "OSU - Find Assets" report now features a new Asset Description prompt. This text field allows users to enter a description, returning assets that begin with the specified value. This enhancement streamlines the search process, ensuring more accurate and relevant asset retrieval.

All PCard Forms that support the issuance of a new PCard or adjustments to an existing PCard will be moved from DocuSign to Workday on Monday, August 12.

Blank book code (activity for decentral journals) will be closing at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 18. Please remember to take timely action on journals. As this is second close for fiscal year 2024, any journals or transfers in "Created" and "In Progress" status after 4 p.m. on July 18 will be cancelled.

As of July 18, an updated Workday notification has been created following the approval of a Subaward Supplier Contract or Subaward Supplier Contract Amendment. A notification of fully approved subaward supplier contract or supplier contract amendment goes to all the prior approvers in the workflow and the initiator. This creates consistency with other spend transactions.

All PCard Forms that support the issuance of a new PCard or adjustments to an existing PCard will be moved from DocuSign to Workday in August 2024. More information regarding the implementation date will be announced in the next NewsLink posting.

The PCard Office is offering an Information Session and Demonstration to provide guidance and resources to assist with the transition of the PCard Application and Maintenance Forms into Workday.
