Functionality was implemented in late May to provide an easier process to pay 9-month faculty new hires who begin working prior to August 15.   

The detailed FY24 period close and department fiscal payroll processing calendar is combined into one single calendar.

Please note that the equity roll-forward of FY24 beginning equity balances will not occur until after second close, which is at 5 p.m. on the evening of July 20, 2023. As a result, reporting will be affected until the equity roll-forward occurs.

The Enterprise Business Solutions (EBS) team has been working closely with Workday to resolve a known issue related to Miscellaneous Payment Requests. EBS received reports from Accounts Payable of a high volume of Manual Send Backs, automated by Workday, when certain attributes were updated on the Payee record while Miscellaneous Payment Requests were "In Progress." Workday delivered a fix to our preview tenant and once testing by EBS is complete, the fix will be deployed to Workday production. We appreciate your patience as we have worked to resolve this issue.

New Inbox Filters for Workday were created mid-June for use on requisitions, match exceptions, supplier invoice requests, supplier invoices, spend authorizations, expense reports, and miscellaneous payment requests. The filters are specifically for tasks within the CCH8 cost center hierarchy. The naming conventions for these filters are:

Previously, Workday planned maintenance reminders have been shared as normal NewsLink blog posts which were distributed with Workday core users just prior to any scheduled maintenance and downtime date.

An enhancement will be added to the output of the "Find Requisition Summary - OSU" report to now display a column for the CCH7 and CCH8 that correspond with the cost centers used on requisitions. This will be done to provide more sorting options and to be consistent with other reports in the procurement suite. 

The "Sources and Uses - Variance Analysis" report will be updated the week of June 12 to auto expand the Sources and Uses to the Ledger Account Hierarchy level when the report is rendered. This will change the way the report is displayed by default, but can be collapsed if desired by using arrow/carrot toggles on the left side of the report. 

This year, a new central journal will be processed to roll-forward spend authorization encumbrances. A new journal source titled Spend Authorization Roll Forward* will be posting encumbrances for FY2024 in the amount of non-expensed spend authorizations with remaining encumbrances.
