As of Friday, December 6, Workday validations will be placed in various spend business processes to ensure the cost of sales expenditure treatment worktag can only be utilized by approved university earnings operations (Funds FD120, FD121, FD122 and FD200). In addition, users will no longer be able to add ET101 to costing allocations, one-time payments, or period activity pay. 

The Cost of Sales Spend Category (SC10258) will be inactivated for future use, as it does not meet the definition of spend category. ET101 plus the appropriate earnings fund value and an eligible spend category within the services, supplies, or fuel and fuel additives hierarchies should be used to designate cost of sales.
