Report Enhancements: Credit Card Transactions - OSU and Find Credit Cards - OSU:

The "Credit Card Transactions - OSU" and "Find Credit Cards - OSU" have been enhanced with two additional fields. 

To improve transparency into the supplier invoice request process, the Service Center Lead Approval step will be moved up in the business process from the supplier invoice where it currently resides to the supplier invoice request, keeping it streamlined within the same business process. This change is to improve transparency and align with other similar financial transactions in Workday. 

Wondering how changing your benefits selections or tax withholdings might impact your paycheck? Are you interested in determining what your pay increase will be with your recent overtime hours? Introducing Model My Pay, a new Workday tool now available that allows you to apply various hypothetical changes to your earnings, benefits, or tax elections to calculate paycheck estimates before making any actual changes.

This is a friendly reminder to units to clean up financial worktags that are no longer being used and submit inactivation requests through Workday. Prior to submitting worktag inactivation requests, ensure that the Inactivation Checklist has been completed and worktags show a zero balance. For more information, see the FDM Request Process for New Worktag Values job aid available in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC).

As part of a standardization project, the business teams have been reviewing notifications for the Requisition and Purchase Order Business Processes to help create consistency across each process. These enhancements will be completed on Monday, October 9. The change described below will be made to help improve the end user experience.

From 5 p.m. on Friday, October 13, until 11 a.m. on Sunday, October 15, multiple PeopleSoft Buckeye Link services (Campus Solutions/Student Information System) will be unavailable due to planned maintenance. This change has a longer maintenance window that differs from previous SIS planned maintenance.  

For most students and faculty users, the change should not be noticeable, however, there are also some additional business area impacts. 

Administrators should advise travelers to exercise caution when working in the Expenses Hub. Upon selecting the “Actions” button for Spend Authorizations, the banner action prompt and other instructional text should be reviewed before selecting “Ok” to confirm the correct business process is initiated.   

Please be advised that the MS Teams link for Travel Office Hours has been updated. Participants should use the new link to attend future office hours (beginning October 2023). 

Travel Office Hours are held on the first Tuesday of every month from 10 - 11:30 a.m. Participants will review current travel updates (industry, system, policy or supplier information), observe demos of Workday travel processes and/or how to use travel suppliers for booking, and ask questions regarding guidance for policy/system issues.  

Currently, purchase requisitions and spend authorizations are reported on the weekly confirmation email sent out to Principal Investigators (PI) on their relevant Grants. Additionally, non-PO Invoices and Expense Reports without Spend Authorizations will start to be included during the month of October. This is to ensure that our PIs can review additional non-personnel charges against their Grants via this weekly reporting. 

B&H Photo will be closed in observance of Yom Kippur on Monday, September 25 and also for Sukkot on Friday, September 29 through Sunday, October 8.

Purchase orders issued during the closures will still be accepted but product will not ship until B&H reopens. Please contact the Marketplace Team at BF-Marketplace@osu.edu with questions.
