    To address the Workday limitation associated with payroll commitments for biweekly pay period 14 (6/15-6/28), FY25 payroll commitments were closed out the week of July 7 and a new integration with a journal source of "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" was run to move the commitments to FY26. Correcting entries for any over liquidations also have been posted. We resumed the regular encumbrance adjustments schedule starting Monday, July 7. The "Positions for Planning" report has also been updated to reflect FY26.

  • Important Reminders for FY25 Second Close, July 18

    |July 11, 2025
    The second close for June FY25 will occur at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 18.  All journals in "created" or "in progress" status for June will be cancelled at that time. Last year, there were Workday performance issues due to a high volume of journal EIBs submitted the afternoon of second close. To ensure we can successfully close the evening of July 18, please do not wait until the afternoon of July 18 to submit EIB journals. If you notice performance issues, please do not attempt to submit the EIB again. In addition, if the journal is not that many lines, please use the Workday user interface to complete the journal instead of an EIB.
