Purchase Order Auto-Close Functionality

During the week of September 9, Ohio State will start utilizing the auto-close functionality provided by Workday for university purchase orders for goods. When a university purchase order for goods meets the criteria listed below, they will automatically close.

- Fully received: where all quantities ordered have been marked received in Workday

- Fully invoiced and paid: when all the quantities ordered have been invoiced and payments have all been issued to the vendors.

This will only apply to purchase orders where these criteria are met after September 9. If your purchase order has already been receipted and fully invoiced/paid prior to September 9, they will have to be sent to the Service Center through the current closure process.  

Please pay special attention when building/approving requisitions for goods lines to ensure that the quotes match the requisition. Contact the Service Center if you have questions on how to build requisitions.
