Three Workday reports, “Find Expense Reports - OSU,” “Find Expense Report Lines,” and “Find Expense Report Lines for Organization” will be decommissioned on August 31, 2022. 

These reports will be replaced by two new reports named “Find Expense Report Details - OSU” and “Find Expense Report Summary - OSU,” which will be available in Production the last week of July. 

The report "Find Cash Advances - OSU" will be decommissioned on July 29, 2022. The report attributes have been added to "Find Spend Authorization Details - OSU" which will return a more complete picture of Cash Advances. 

Users with saved filters on "Find Cash Advances - OSU" are asked to delete them prior to the decommission date.  

As part of HR Optimization efforts, on Friday, July 15, enhancements were applied for Period Activity Pay (PAP) to assist with streamlining the business process for both Cost Center Managers and HR Consultants. The following enhancements were implemented:

For the month of August, departments are charged for one half of the nine-month rate for their nine-month faculty. To properly expense August salary, best practice is to use the costing dates of 08/15/2022 to 08/31/2022. This will ensure that costing prorates properly for the half month of pay.

Encumbrance updates for 9-month faculty (the adjustment to convert encumbrances from 12 months to 9 months) are still being calculated. Updates are anticipated to be finalized by mid-July. 

Effective July 1, 2022, only one prepaid credit card is available to select when purchasing airfare through the contracted travel agency (Corporate Travel Planners) or their online booking tool (Concur). 

Beginning in July 2022 and annually thereafter, the Travel Office will be conducting the Spend Authorization Mass Close process to release pre-encumbrances on aged Spend Authorizations.

Beginning July 1, 2022, the Travel Office will absorb the process of expensing airfare transactions purchased through Corporate Travel Planners (CTP) or Concur. This does will NOT include Athletics or Group airfare transactions.
