The Fiscal year 2023 Period Close calendar and Department Fiscal Payroll Processing calendar are now combined into one single calendar. The calendar can be found on the Controller's website both under Business Processes within the Period Close page and the Payroll Accounting page.

Workday Release 2022R2 will be in production on Saturday, September 10. Business and Finance and OTDI team members are jointly conducting a meeting to present those updates with a focus on finance, supply chain, and payroll accounting functions. The session will be held from 1-2 p.m.

During the week of September 5, the Data and Analytics team made significant progress in loading and validating the Journal Line reload to the Reporting and Analytics Environment (RAE). The final validations were successful with some explainable variances due to test environments. With the upcoming Workday 2022R2 update this Saturday, 9/10, we need some additional time to work around this critical event. 

The "Cost Center - FDM Values" report has been updated to include the Cost Center Manager(s) assigned to each specific cost center, if applicable. This report enhancement can help identify missing cost center manager security assignments. 

After identifying significant accounting issues with negative expense report balances since this original update was shared, a custom validation was added to prevent an expense report from being submitted with the Personal Expense checkbox selected.

Enhancements for the Expense Report Exceptions report will be available in Production no later than August 1, 2022. The report has been enhanced to provide additional functionality and usability. The enhancements are listed below.

Two drop-in office hour sessions will be available in July. The sessions will be focused on year-end needs and allow units to stop in if there are questions related to finance or supply chain as we approach year-end close. No formal agenda or material will be presented.

A new "Commitments and Obligations" virtual training has been created in BuckeyeLearn to help financial users and service centers develop a baseline skillset on encumbrances and pre-encumbrances.
