An update has been made to the notification that is sent following approval of a Spend Authorization if a cash advance is included. Spend Authorizations that include cash advances will now receive an alternate notification with content specific to cash advance policies.
The "Miscellaneous Payment Request" business process has been modified to route Petty Cash/Human Subjects associated with Office of Sponsored Program (OSP) Grants to the OSP accountants.
Accordingly, "Business Process Approval Times - Miscellaneous Payment Request Details" and "Business Process Approval Times - Miscellaneous Payment Request Summary" have been updated to reflect the new security role in the approval process.
A Workday supported solution will be in production during the week of Monday, February 5 , to support payment requests where a PO is not required for Non-Resident Aliens or Wires (e.g., Expense Reports, Miscellaneous Payments).
As part of the new process, users will leverage the "Supplier Invoice Request" Workday business process to request these payments. This enhanced process will reduce forms previously associated with the process and allows for more transparent tracking of requests. See the full post for notable changes as well as a list of what is not changing.
The Spend Authorization Roll-forward Journal was processed to roll-forward spend authorization encumbrances for FY24. In your FY24 Financials, these pre encumbrances will post on the journal source titled "Spend Authorization Roll Forward" for any non-expensed spend authorizations as of the June cut off with remaining encumbrances.
This year, a new central journal will be processed to roll-forward spend authorization encumbrances. A new journal source titled Spend Authorization Roll Forward* will be posting encumbrances for FY2024 in the amount of non-expensed spend authorizations with remaining encumbrances.
The BuckeyeLearn training for Commitments and Obligations has also been updated with the new process. For more information, please review the updated spend authorization section in training or the June 2023 Finance Office Hours recording.
*Note, an incorrect journal source name was initially shared in the June 12 NewsLink email.
The new Expenses Hub is live within the Workday Menu options. The Expenses Hub is a central location for managing your expense-related tasks and transactions and will display transactions that require your attention. It is not intended to manage the Expense tasks and transactions that you have submitted on behalf of others as part of an administrative role. See the full post to review a quick video in BuckeyeLearn that shows how to access the new Expenses Hub and what is included in this new Workday resource.
The "Find Credit Cards – OSU" report is designed to provide departments and colleges with a listing of PCards by Cost Center and Cost Center Hierarchy Level 6. Cost Center and Cost Center Hierarchy Level 6 are assigned to each card by the PCard Office based on the Cost Center provided on the PCard Application or subsequent PCard Maintenance Forms.
See the Report Inventory information available on the Business and Finance site for a current list of security roles required for this and other reports.
