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. 

Updates were made to Module 1 of the 2 part Internal Order Billing BuckeyeLearn training.

A new BuckeyeLearn Curriculum called "The Buying Experience" is now live. This is a 6-module curriculum covering the most used Requisition types for new employees. These can be taken as a full curriculum, or each one can be watched as a stand-alone course. 

A new university-wide contract for Flowers and Occasion Gifts was recently awarded to six suppliers. The Sourcing Team has pre-negotiated rates, discounts, and terms with suppliers for use by the university through a competitive bid process.

The scope of these contracts includes, but is not limited to, floral arrangements, plants, gift baskets, gift items, or sweets, to mark any occasion. Among possible occasions could be retirements, promotions, sympathy, get well, congratulations, etc.
