Please refer to the downloadable Unit Year-end Checklist (link is external) for important year end timeline information and tasks that need to be performed. Please make every effort to close out as many old items as possible to help avoid system issues for the year-end roll forward process. As a reminder, purchase orders can close only when the status is issued and there are no:
in-progress or draft receipts. in-progress or draft "Return to Supplier" documents. related supplier invoices with draft, incomplete, or in-progress status. related ASNs in draft or in-progress.
You can view the status of these items on the Business Document Lines of the purchase order. The focus should be on documents tied to old POs with remaining balances that should be closed and not rolled forward. These can be identified using the "Find Purchase Order Details - OSU" report and checking the "Purchase Orders with Remaining Obligations/Encumbrances Only" box. Please work with the appropriate parties to take action on outstanding items by Friday, May 31, 2024 and send lists of POs that are ready to be closed to your Service Center Representative to close. Please also copy the Controller’s Office ( ctl-fdmrequests@osu.edu ) for awareness.
Effective Friday, April 19 , as part of the Campus Position Control Project, Cost Center Managers will now receive costing allocations through their inboxes for New Position Management Positions and all Job Management Hires (who are not paid from Period Activity Pay). This is a change, as historically costing would route to managers to initiate.
Additionally, Cost Center Managers can initiate costing allocations as a standalone process for their own assigned cost centers with no approval required. If a Cost Center Manager initiates cost allocations for cost centers that are not their own, it will route to the appropriate Cost Center Manager to approve.
This new routing should provide enhanced efficiency for both managers and Cost Center Managers.
The Tableau report "Delegation History - OSU" has been updated with the enhancements described below.
A new "Stopped Date and Time" field has been added to the report. When the delegation is stopped for any reason before it's expected end date, the stopped date and time will now display in a new column. A new filter "For All Business Processes" has been added to the report. Additionally, the naming of two fields has been changed. "Allowed Action" has been changed to "Start on My Behalf." "Specified Business Processes" has been changed to "Approval on Behalf of Specified Business Processes." A clean-up has been done on the "Delegation Details" and "All Delegation History" to no longer display rows denoting when a worker is on leave and returns from leave. This reduces some unnecessary noise in the data.

The Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI) announced a Request for Proposals (RFP) in December 2023 for an enterprise-wide proctoring tool or tools to support teaching and learning at the university. Several vendors submitted bids, and an evaluation committee made up of representatives from across the university assessed and tested the vendors’ proctoring tools. The evaluation committee recommended Ohio State pursue a contract with Honorlock and continue using the Respondus Lockdown Browser tool.
