Each February, the Ohio State community comes together to celebrate Buckeye Love. This year, the emphasis for our celebration is kindness. What better day to celebrate than National Random Acts of Kindness Day on Thursday, Feb. 17.

Buckeyes across the university are being called to share kindness with one another, both in-person and virtually. We are asking all students, faculty, staff and university partners to embrace the opportunity to create connections that bring joy and inspire others to do the same.

The "Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU" report is in production. This report replaces "Find Supplier Invoices" and is enhanced to return more detail about supplier invoice transactions. The decommission of "Find Supplier Invoices" will occur the week of February 7. Please use "Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU" going forward.  

The "Find Supplier Invoice Funding Detail - OSU" report is currently being tested and is slated for publication during the week of February 28. This report provides invoice line detail information including all invoice header details found in the "Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU" report as well as invoice line details such as items purchased, Ship-To Address, quantity of item line purchased, etc. It can be used to help support expenses or balances sheet activity in the General Ledger.

After feedback was received during the December Research Reporting Office Hours session, the column “Created by Worker” was added to the "Payroll Accounting Adjustment Status" report. This change allows viewers to see who initiated the payroll accounting adjustment, therefore making it easier to reach out to the initiators. This change also makes the report more consistent with our financial reporting, because the “Created by Worker” field is a common output of reporting.

Based on feedback from users in the grants/research community, the “Other Funding” report within the Principal Investigator and Grants Administration dashboards now includes a new column for “Revenue.” The "Transfers In and Out" information is still in a separate column. This ensures a full view of balances is contained within this report.

This year marks the 3-year anniversary of Ohio State’s Tableau implementation. The Data and Analytics team surveyed leaders and stakeholders in January to gather data about Ohio State’s last three years of Tableau use. Check out the full post for an initial overview of results that will factor into future planning and the continual service improvement of Tableau.

Effective January 21, 2022, eRequest and eTravel were officially decommissioned. Access to historical data from those systems is now available using the Reporting and Analytics Environment (RAE) and Tableau Server.

Related job aids are available in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC).
