Workday Report Maintenance: Credit Card and Expense Report Data
Juliette Lonsert|May 16, 2025On Monday, June 2, several credit card and expense-related reports will have maintenance performed on the back end of the reports.

It's highly recommended to have FY25 procurement and expense transactions fully approved by the end of the day on Friday, June 27, 2025.FY25 Year-end Business Document Clean Up
