Customer deposit transactions created and submitted on or after Friday, December 1 will have a transaction ID generated called "Customer Deposit ID." The Customer Deposit ID will be like other transaction IDs within Workday and will uniquely identify the deposit. The Customer Deposit ID will be preceded by "CD" and it will be followed by 8 numeric digits. The new Customer Deposit ID will be displayed on various deposit-related reports. Multiple cash sales can continue to be tied to a single customer deposit transaction. In such a scenario, the Customer Deposit ID will appear on all of the associated cash sale transactions under “Deposit Detail” section.

Shortly after the September 2023 release, in some cases, when a Period Activity Pay is initiated as part of a hire or add job, an error message may occur during the Cost Center Manager approval step.
The message displayed is “The entered information does not meet the restrictions defined for this field.” Cost Center Managers are unable to bypass the message. A ticket has been logged with Workday.
In the meantime, the workaround is to have the initiator of the period activity pay cancel it. Once it has been canceled, the hire or add job is completed and the period activity pay can be reinitiated as a standalone transaction. The error message will not appear, and the Cost Center Manager can approve as usual.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. An update will be provided when Workday have delivered a fix.
A new Workday access request form will be launched on Monday, November 13 . The new form introduces features to help you find the right Workday role including filters and a list of common Workday activities mapped to the access needed to complete them.
This 30-minute course reviews the Federal Work Study program from a finance perspective. The Federal Work Study program provides job opportunities for eligible students with financial need who are enrolled at least half time, allowing them to earn money to help pay indirect education expenses.
The Student Financial Aid office helps subsidize the cost of hiring students who have Federal Work Study awards. In other words, when you hire a Federal Work Study student position the department can get the cost of the student’s salaries and associated expenses subsidized if not fully covered. Non-Revenue Generating Units receive FULL subsidy for eligible wages and benefits. Revenue Generating Units receive 75% of the student’s eligible wages subsidized.
This training includes explanations of the processes for Federal Work Study, and the related costing allocation, central allocation and reconciliation of the GL. The training will also review reports that may assist with the Federal Work Study process.
