FY26 Blanket order entry can begin on Monday, April 14, 2025. A new workday enhancement will be turned on the week of April 7th to allow for future dated requisitions. Prior to this enhancement, users were instructed to current date blanket requests, and then the Controller's Office had to run a manual job during month end close in April and May to roll the encumbrances into the future fiscal year.  

Requirements have been updated to provide guidance on how employee vs independent contractor work at Ohio State should be classified.

Report Enhancement: Find Journal Lines - OSU - Posted Journals by Amount Type: The "Find Journal Lines - OSU - Posted Journals by Amount Type" report has been enhanced with an additional field for "Object Class" in the output of the report.

Grant - FDM Values Report Enhancements: The output of the report "Grant - FDM Values" has been enhanced to include four additional columns. Those columns include the Award Line From Date, Award Line To Date, Prime Sponsor Type, and Sponsor Type.

Supplier Contracts Prompt Added to Procurement Reporting: A "Supplier Contracts" prompt has been added to three reports to enable users to search by supplier contracts. The reports include "Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU," "Find Supplier Invoice Detail - OSU," and "Find Purchase Order Summary - OSU."

In preparation for the combined federal and state filing changes, the Payee Setup Form along with the Miscellaneous Payee and Miscellaneous Payment Request tasks will be updated to include additional address prompts for 1099 income reporting when the state in which work is performed differs from the state associated with the payee’s primary address. The changes listed below will occur on January 17.

Please do not begin entering FY26 blanket purchase orders until April 14, 2025. More information and detailed instructions on creating FY26 blanket purchase orders is forthcoming.

Update: See the Future Dated Requisitions to be Used for FY26 Blanket Order Entry post.

To assist with the year-end procurement roll-forward process, the Controller’s Office will be analyzing and closing out old internal and external Purchase Orders (PO) which meet the parameters listed below.

• POs that are over two years old which have not been invoiced in the previous year (excluding POs for multiyear service contracts that are only billed annually, those related to construction projects beginning with "PJOSU," OAKS type POs, and those that are FD520 grant related).

The "Find Supplier Requests" report in Workday will be enhanced with an additional column on the report called “Supplier Request." This drill down field allows those who have access to this data to see and take additional actions.

The "Find Supplier Invoice Request (SIR) Summary - OSU" report will be enhanced with an additional set of date prompts.

Prompt "Supplier Invoice Request Completed Date on or After" and "Supplier Invoice Request Completed Date on or Before" fields are added which allows users to run the report by when the supplier invoice request completed consistent with other procurement reporting.
