A new university-wide contract for Entertainment Services was recently awarded to nine suppliers. The Sourcing Team pre-negotiated rates, discounts, and terms with suppliers for use by Ohio State as part of a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP).
Awarded Supplier List:
During the evening of Thursday, August 29, enhancements will be made to the internal order billing process to allow for negative invoice line amounts. Currently, refunds/credits to customers can only be accomplished using a cost center journal. Negative invoicing will replace cost center journals as the standard practice for issuing refunds/credits to customers.
A new Inbox Filter for Workday was created August 7 for use on supplier invoice requests, specifically within the CCH7 cost center hierarchy. This supplier invoice request lookup is tied to the requisition line and requisition line distribution business objects.
By the end of August, enhancements will be made to the internal order billing process to allow for negative invoice line amounts. Currently, refunds/credits to customers can only be accomplished using a cost center journal. Please note that due to a Workday constraint, the negative invoices will only get picked up for settlement once there is an overall positive total invoice amount for that internal supplier ID. Service line invoices will have to be refunded with negative service lines, and goods lines will have to be refunded with a negative goods line amount, including the quantity.
There is a new Supplier Invoice Request course available in BuckeyeLearn that instructs users on how to create a Supplier Invoice Request. This 20-minute course reviews the Supplier Invoice Request process.

As of Friday, May 31, all internal supplier invoices tied to a blanket purchase order and the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) Grant Hierarchy will route to the Grants Shared Service Center for review. This review is to help ensure that grants are charged only approved internal billing rates, comply with the grant agreement, and have appropriate supporting documentation. If there is not adequate detail to support the charges, the Grants Shared Service Center will be sending back the transactions.
The suppliers of leadership coaching services listed below will now have single dollar line hosted catalogs in Buckeye Buy. Previously these suppliers were in Marketplace Quotes. Ohio State customers will receive quotes via email, which should be used to enter the order through the Buckeye Buy catalog.
Magnetic Springs is back in buckeye Buy with a two-line catalog for either 5-gallon water service or filtration unit service. The pricing for each is visible in the long description of the item. Requestors should enter the expected total for annual service in the quantity field without decimal points. This will produce a one-line purchase order for the total amount of service through the year. The dollar line structure allows for multiple invoices to be paid during the service period.
