Transactions Split Between Two Cost Centers

In Workday, if a transaction is split between two cost centers, approval will route to all Cost Center Managers (CCM) listed for both cost centers. The CCM who approves the transaction first is essentially approving it for all the cost centers. If those transactions involve multiple colleges and/or administrative units, the unit that initiated the transaction should approve the transaction and use the ad hoc functionality to ad hoc in the CCM of the other unit. Please note, that if the ad hoc approver sends it back, it will route back to the initiator, not the first approver. It will also route to the department leaders and service centers. The expectation is that the unit initiating the transaction should also be the unit that processes the transaction. Because of this process, it’s best practice to have a conversation with the involved cost centers before the requisition is submitted to confirm the agreement/process.
