By the end of August, enhancements will be made to the internal order billing process to allow for negative invoice line amounts. Currently, refunds/credits to customers can only be accomplished using a cost center journal. Please note that due to a Workday constraint, the negative invoices will only get picked up for settlement once there is an overall positive total invoice amount for that internal supplier ID. Service line invoices will have to be refunded with negative service lines, and goods lines will have to be refunded with a negative goods line amount, including the quantity. This will discussed in the September Finance Office hours.

Starting Thursday, August 15, new “Edit Position Restriction” and “Create Job Requisition” business processes will no longer require "Default Compensation" information to be entered or updated. This will streamline these two business processes, and HR Consultants, managers or cost center managers will no longer need to complete this step. Please share this change with others in your respective unit. Relevant Administrative Resource Center (ARC) job aids will be updated. 

The "Default Compensation" fields may still appear in some reports; however, no data will be populated. 

There is a Workday case open due to reported issues where journal EIBs are stuck in a queued status for a few hours before being created. If you notice that you are affected by this issue, please do not resubmit the EIB, as it will slow things down further and duplicate journals will be created that need to be cancelled. When this occurs, please be patient, the queued EIB journals eventually get created after a few hours and you will be able to submit them at that time. 

To view the status of journal EIBs, navigate to your Workday inbox and click "Archive." The status of the journal EIB will show as "in progress" when it is processing, and "successfully completed" once the journal is created.  Once created, you will be able to view the journal and submit it for approval.

Below are details about reporting changes in production as of July 29. See the full post where indicated for more specifics.

Business Assets Reporting:

The "OSU - Find Assets" report now features a new Asset Description prompt. This text field allows users to enter a description, returning assets that begin with the specified value. This enhancement streamlines the search process, ensuring more accurate and relevant asset retrieval.

Find FDM Requests Report and Security Enhancements:

The "Find FDM Requests" report has recently been enhanced to include a prompt for the Initiator's CCH6 as of the "Date Initiated" value. On the output of the report, the column "Initiator's Unit" has been replaced with the "Initiator's CCH6 as of Date Initiated." This change was made to help capture the correct CCH6 for which the request was entered even if the initiator no longer works in that unit.

Additionally, the security groups permitted access to run this report have been expanded to include the roles as listed in the full post. Please note, in order to see the request on the output of the report, users will need to have one of the security roles listed in the full post for the organization of the initiator. For example, if the initiator's organization is the company The Ohio State University, someone with the Cost Center Accountant role for that company will be able to view the request. However, someone with that same role but for the organization OSU Health System would not be able to view that request.
