An issue with offer letters and onboarding documents flowing to OnBase has been resolved as of July 27, 2022. With the resolution implemented, offer letters and onboarding documents will be loaded to the employee personnel file within OnBase nightly around 11 p.m. EST. Documents will load to OnBase once the individual has completed one of the following:

• For offer letters: Completing an onboarding activity such as:
  • Completing the Name and Contact information step for the onboarding to be considered complete.

To provide a better job application experience and clear guidance for applicants and managers, Workday notifications throughout the job application process have been enhanced. The new and updated notifications will help applicants and managers be engaged and informed throughout important hiring milestones to highlight action items and meet deadlines, creating a more efficient hiring process. The new and enhanced notifications will be live in Workday by early August 2022.

The "Cost Center - FDM Values" report has been updated to include the Cost Center Manager(s) assigned to each specific cost center, if applicable. This report enhancement can help identify missing cost center manager security assignments. 

After identifying significant accounting issues with negative expense report balances since this original update was shared, a custom validation was added to prevent an expense report from being submitted with the Personal Expense checkbox selected.

In response to user requests, payroll expense reports are now available in Tableau (link: https://dataviz.rae.osu.edu/#/workbooks/6448/views). A dashboard (titled Payroll Expense Details) was created under the Finance and Supply Chain/Financial Accounting/General Ledger domain in Tableau.

The dashboard contains two worksheets:  

In response to feedback regarding encumbrance logic, all financial reports (i.e. Sources and Uses suite, Equity Balances) will be updated to reflect the new encumbrance logic. The new logic will now be static in nature; once a fiscal period is closed the ending encumbrance number for the period will never change. The previous logic reflected fluid encumbrances and constantly updated. Expect the financial reports logic to be updated by July 29, 2022 (this does not affect grants reporting).

The Requisition Exception report is used to identify after the fact exceptions on requisitions. The report now only returns one row per approved requisition where "after the fact" is the requisition type. 

The prompt has also been enhanced to allow users to search for exceptions based on Cost Center Hierarchy Level 6,7, and 8. The dates on the report have also been corrected so users can run the report based on requisition approval dates as opposed to when a requisition was created.  

Enhancements for the Expense Report Exceptions report will be available in Production no later than August 1, 2022. The report has been enhanced to provide additional functionality and usability. The enhancements are listed below.

Three Workday reports, “Find Expense Reports - OSU,” “Find Expense Report Lines,” and “Find Expense Report Lines for Organization” will be decommissioned on August 31, 2022. 

These reports will be replaced by two new reports named “Find Expense Report Details - OSU” and “Find Expense Report Summary - OSU,” which will be available in Production the last week of July. 

The report "Find Cash Advances - OSU" will be decommissioned on July 29, 2022. The report attributes have been added to "Find Spend Authorization Details - OSU" which will return a more complete picture of Cash Advances. 

Users with saved filters on "Find Cash Advances - OSU" are asked to delete them prior to the decommission date.
