In order to improve the Workday purchasing experience for end users, on Monday, May 8, the SC99999 spend category will be renamed from: 

OFFICE USE ONLY - Do Not Change (SC99999) to *Do Not Know (SC99999) 

This renaming allows for this spend category to default as the first selection option when Spend Categories are searched in transactions. 

To continually improve the candidate recruiting experience, Workday updates were made last week to ensure all position information is captured during the edit position restriction and job requisition business processes. Both business processes will include validations as part of the submission process, which means if required fields are left empty or do not meet the necessary criteria, an error notification will appear.

Blanket orders are used for transactions that occur very frequently (daily or multiple times a week), have a high variation of product types, have undetermined timing, and are not available in Buckeye Buy.

Water Service blanket purchase order information for FY24 (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024) is now available.

Annual office water service purchase orders to Magnetic Springs (5 Gallon water service and water filtration units) must be placed outside Buckeye Buy and must be a single-line blanket type purchase order. Please do not create a create a separate line to contain the $0.00 charge for the 5 gallon water dispenser.

For FY24 the pricing will be as follows:

A Catering Service line has been added to most of the drop-off service catalogs in the Catering Marketplace. This will allow users to enter a one-line order for event food, beverages, disposables, etc. as quoted by the supplier. Rooster’s, Chick Fil-A, and Mazah Mediterranean Eatery catalogs do not include this line yet but may in the coming days.

Encumbrances for blanket purchase orders associated with fiscal year 2024 will first post to fiscal year 2023 until a manual job is run at month-end to move the encumbrance into fiscal year 2024. The process will look for any blanket purchase orders created after 4/17/23.

In order to continue to improve the end user experience, the “Positions for Planning" report now contains the columns listed below.

• Expenditure Treatment 
• Prorated Annual Salary for Position

An enhancement has been added to the "OSU - Find Assets" report. The output of this report now displays the primary work email address for the Asset Coordinator listed for the asset.
