During the evening of Thursday, August 29, enhancements will be made to the internal order billing process to allow for negative invoice line amounts. Currently, refunds/credits to customers can only be accomplished using a cost center journal. Negative invoicing will replace cost center journals as the standard practice for issuing refunds/credits to customers.
A new Inbox Filter for Workday was created August 7 for use on supplier invoice requests, specifically within the CCH7 cost center hierarchy. This supplier invoice request lookup is tied to the requisition line and requisition line distribution business objects.

National Payroll Week 2024 begins on Monday, September 2!
Since our organization supports many systems and processes that enable university faculty and staff to be paid, National Payroll Week is important to us all!
In 1996, the American Payroll Association founded National Payroll Week to coincide with the celebration of Labor Day.
As shared in a prior NewsLink post, effective Monday, August 12, all PCard Forms that support the issuance of a new PCard or adjustments to an existing PCard must be submitted through a Request in Workday. Refer to the PCard - Application Request and Maintenance Request Job Aid for navigational guidance in Workday.
By the end of August, enhancements will be made to the internal order billing process to allow for negative invoice line amounts. Currently, refunds/credits to customers can only be accomplished using a cost center journal. Please note that due to a Workday constraint, the negative invoices will only get picked up for settlement once there is an overall positive total invoice amount for that internal supplier ID. Service line invoices will have to be refunded with negative service lines, and goods lines will have to be refunded with a negative goods line amount, including the quantity.
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. Please note, the "Pay Component" and "Pay Group" fields will be blank for the "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" journal source rows.
