Dates are extremely important for processing and reporting on transactions. Please use special care when entering and approving transactions to ensure use of the correct dates. A new "Transaction Dates in Workday that Drive Accounting" guide is available in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). This document outlines which transaction dates drive operational accounting entries in Workday. Using the quick guide should help prevent operational journal errors from occurring.
Ohio State’s Office of Comprehensive Energy will be changing how they manage utilities bills (electricity, natural gas, and water/sewer) for Ohio State and the Health System. A third-party system, WatchWire, will be used to gather utility invoices from various companies and submit invoices into Workday for payment. This removes manual effort from the departments and streamlines the process. The Energy Office will be reaching out to the affected departments with more on the transition taking place during February 2023. If there are additional questions, please contact energymanagement@osu.edu .

In May 2023 , ordering of goods and services will take place within Workday instead of being directed to GHX. Some changes will be made in Workday leading up to going live with the new process. One of those changes is how supplier contract information from MediTract and OnBase is loaded into Workday. Currently, when a contract transfers to Workday, it is put under the "Combined - The Ohio State University" company. This set up allows users with access to view any supplier contract negotiated for the University, the Health System, or OSU Physicians.
In February 2023 , the setup will change and the company listed on the supplier contract header will be the contract owner. Only users with access to view supplier contracts under the contract owner company will be able to view those supplier contracts. If you need access to view supplier contracts under a different company, work with your security liaison to request access. See the full NewsLink article for more details about the February changes .
