Effective Friday, December 20 , Cost Center Managers will have the ability to edit PCard Application Requests and PCard Maintenance Requests during the business process review. For further guidance refer to the PCard - Application Request and Maintenance Request Job Aid .
For questions, contact the PCard Office at pcard@osu.edu or 614-292-9290.
As of Friday, December 6 , Workday validations will be placed in various spend business processes to ensure the cost of sales expenditure treatment worktag can only be utilized by approved university earnings operations (Funds FD120, FD121, FD122 and FD200). In addition, users will no longer be able to add ET101 to costing allocations, one-time payments, or period activity pay.
As a reminder, use of the ET101 expenditure treatment drives the transaction accounting to the cost of sales ledger account (61020).
ET101 plus the appropriate earnings fund value and an eligible spend category value should be used to designate cost of sales. Eligible spend categories are those included in the services, supplies, or fuel and fuel additives hierarchies. Manual journals should use the cost of sales ledger account 61020 and an eligible spend category. Please refer to the university earnings operation policy for additional guidance and the full definition of cost of sales.
The Cost of Sales Spend Category (SC10258) will be inactivated for future use, as it does not meet the definition of spend category. ET101 plus the appropriate earnings fund value and an eligible spend category within the services, supplies, or fuel and fuel additives hierarchies should be used to designate cost of sales.
