As of Friday, November 3, the "Calculate Current Year Retained Earnings" checkbox will be retired by Workday.
Using this checkbox tells the report to calculate ending equity balances by taking beginning equity balance â net margin. Those who still need comparable behavior may utilize the "General Ledger Balance â Balance Sheet Details" report which will calculate ending equity in this manner. Please review the October Finance Office hours for a demo of this change.
The "Delegation History - OSU" report date filters have been updated for a better reporting experience. When the user opens the report, on the "Delegation by Month" tab, the "User Input Month" field is updated with the current month. On the "Delegation by Date Range" tab, the "Date Range" field is updated with first day of the current month and current date. The user can select the dates based on their requirements from the filter icon as needed.
Report Enhancements: Credit Card Transactions - OSU and Find Credit Cards - OSU:
The "Credit Card Transactions - OSU" and "Find Credit Cards - OSU" have been enhanced with two additional fields.
The Workday report "OSU Plan vs Actuals by Cost Center" will be decommissioned on October 9.
Individuals should utilize the report "Plan vs Actuals by Plan Worktag" as the alternative. If you have saved filters for "OSU Plan vs Actuals by Cost Center" they should be moved to the replacement report prior to October 9.
The "Find Spend Authorization Summary - OSU" report has been enhanced with a new additional field in the report output. New field name is “In Progress Linked Expense Reports.”
There are two linked fields in the report “Draft Linked Expense Reports” and “In Progress Linked Expense Reports.” Both will be populated in the report when the expense report status is “Draft” or “In Progress.” These two fields can be used when reviewing Spend Authorizations that can be closed and are no longer needed.
As of Friday, September 1, the "Managerial Trial Balance" report behavior will change when viewing equity balances.
Prior to the change, equity balances would calculate "beginning balance â net margin" to derive an ending equity balance. After this change, the equity balance on the trial balance will always reflect the beginning balance numbers. Going forward, you must take your equity balance and subtract your net margin from it (sum of Revenue and Expenses) to obtain the derived equity balance as of the date you run the report.
The "Flexible Payroll Expense Data" report allows users to customize worktags to display when reviewing payroll expenses. As of Monday, August 21, the Tableau report interface for the custom worktag selection will be enhanced to improve the end user experience. Instead of users selecting the "select column" icon from the top right of the report, now all column selections will appear above the column’s headings and will remain displayed.
As of Monday, August 21, a new series of reports will be available that offer insight into the amount of time transactions spent in pending approval steps during workflow.
