After feedback was received during the December Research Reporting Office Hours session, the column “Created by Worker” was added to the "Payroll Accounting Adjustment Status" report. This change allows viewers to see who initiated the payroll accounting adjustment, therefore making it easier to reach out to the initiators. This change also makes the report more consistent with our financial reporting, because the “Created by Worker” field is a common output of reporting.
Workday is requiring the conversion of Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) templates from an XML Excel file format to an XLSX Excel file format. Ohio State will convert all of its EIB templates over the next few months. Once a template conversion is completed and uploaded to the Administrative Resource Center (ARC), the old template will no longer be available. The release of each new template and a link to it in the ARC will be announced in NewsLink.
Beginning immediately, you must use the new templates listed, as available in the ARC:
A new optional process has been developed for employee business leave using Workday’s Request Process. This could be used for faculty/staff who will be away from routine work schedules. Examples could include attending meetings or a virtual conference.
Please note: This is not a university required process and does not replace other HR or Finance related processes (e.g., leave request or spend authorization). Please confirm with the Senior Fiscal Officer of your unit before submitting an initial business leave request to ensure your unit is using the business leave process.
This process will be reviewed in the upcoming Office Hours :
Finance - January 18, 2022 Travel - February 1, 2022
Review the Administrative Resource Center (ARC) job aid for more information.
The ability to add attachments to a Workday transaction varies based on the business process. How and when the attachment is added will determine whether workflow is retriggered. A new quick reference guide for attachments is now available to help you quickly understand the options for adding attachments to a transaction.
Read the Administrative Resource Center (ARC) quick reference guide for more information.
The next Finance Office Hours session will be held from 11:30 a.m. - 12 a.m. on Wednesday, February 2. Use MS Teams to join .
Note: This meeting is a continuation of the Finance Office Hours originally held on 1/18/22 and will be a discussion about the recent business process retreats, with a focus on supply chain processes.
Two Workday reports, "Find Purchase Orders" and "Find Purchase Orders – OSU" will be decommissioned on January 31, 2022. These reports will be replaced with two new reports coming in December named "Find Purchase Order Summary – OSU" and "Find Purchase Order Details – OSU." Users with saved filters "Find Purchase Orders" and "Find Purchase Orders – OSU" are asked to delete them prior to the decommission date. See the full NewsLink article for details about the new reports.
As mentioned in the previous post from November 12 , Workday recently delivered a fix which will correctly exclude the earnings from salary over the cap in most scenarios for actuals and encumbrances.
