A new Workday access request form is now available in ServiceNow. The new form introduces features to help you find the right Workday role, including the ability to filter available roles by business area and user audience. The form also allows you to see a mapping of common Workday activities and the access needed to complete them.

Effective the week of November 13, new exception fields will be created for Requisitions and Supplier Invoice Requests to help users with their exception tracking. 

In "Requisitions," Service Centers will now be able to: 

Cost Center - FDM Values Report:

In preparation for Position Control enhancements, a new "Central Review Required" field has been added to the output of the "Cost Center - FDM Values" report. This field will be used to identify whether a cost center will require central review within the job requisition business process.  

Find Purchase Order Summary - OSU:

Shortly after the September 2023 release, in some cases, when a Period Activity Pay is initiated as part of a hire or add job, an error message may occur during the Cost Center Manager approval step. 

The message displayed is “The entered information does not meet the restrictions defined for this field.” Cost Center Managers are unable to bypass the message. A ticket has been logged with Workday. 

A new Workday access request form will be launched on Monday, November 13. The new form introduces features to help you find the right Workday role including filters and a list of common Workday activities mapped to the access needed to complete them. 

For more information about the added features, see Step 2 of the Request Workday Access – New Form job aid. 

As of Friday, November 3, the "Calculate Current Year Retained Earnings" checkbox will be retired by Workday. 

Using this checkbox tells the report to calculate ending equity balances by taking beginning equity balance – net margin. Those who still need comparable behavior may utilize the "General Ledger Balance – Balance Sheet Details" report which will calculate ending equity in this manner. Please review the October Finance Office hours for a demo of this change. 

There is a new Internal Order Billing course available in BuckeyeLearn to assist with the transition of Internal Service Delivery to Internal Order Billing.  

This 30-minute course reviews the Federal Work Study program from a finance perspective. The Federal Work Study program provides job opportunities for eligible students with financial need who are enrolled at least half time, allowing them to earn money to help pay indirect education expenses.

The "Delegation History - OSU" report date filters have been updated for a better reporting experience.

On the "Delegation by Date Range" tab, the "Date Range" field is updated with first day of the current month and current date. The user can select the dates based on their requirements from the filter icon as needed.
