A new Inbox Filter for Workday was created August 7 for use on supplier invoice requests, specifically within the CCH7 cost center hierarchy. This supplier invoice request lookup is tied to the requisition line and requisition line distribution business objects.

"Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU" Report: The "Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU" report has been enhanced with two additional fields in the output of the report. The field names are "Invoice Reference ID" and "Supplier Reference ID."

National Payroll Week 2024 begins on Monday, September 2!

Since our organization supports many systems and processes that enable university faculty and staff to be paid, National Payroll Week is important to us all!

In 1996, the American Payroll Association founded National Payroll Week to coincide with the celebration of Labor Day.

As shared in a prior NewsLink post, effective Monday, August 12, all PCard Forms that support the issuance of a new PCard or adjustments to an existing PCard must be submitted through a Request in Workday. Refer to the PCard - Application Request and Maintenance Request Job Aid for navigational guidance in Workday.

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.

The "Positions for Planning" report will be updated the evening of Monday, August 12. In order to pull in the new "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" journal source data successfully, the “region” filter and column was removed from the report. This integration was created for FY24 year-end to fix the encumbrances for the last biweekly payroll of the year. Please note, the "Pay Component" and "Pay Group" fields will be blank for the "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" journal source rows.

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. 

Please remember to take prompt action on in-progress or created journals before business day 5 of month-end close. This will help limit the high volume of transactions that the Controller's Office needs to move and/or cancel to close the period. Workday notifications issue a reminder to take action on journals on business day 4, and reminder emails are sent to the Cost Center Manager distribution list on day 5 as an additional reminder.

There is a new Supplier Invoice Request course available in BuckeyeLearn that instructs users on how to create a Supplier Invoice Request. This 20-minute course reviews the Supplier Invoice Request process.

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.
