The following are two of the latest Buckeye Buy updates. 1. A custom order line has been added to the Special Order Gases Cylinder Warehouse Catalog in Buckeye Buy. Requestors can search by "special order gas," under the Search Catalog link, to enter a requisition for the special order gas as quoted by a Linde account manager. See the full post for more details. 2. AK Painting and Martin Painting & Coating Company have new catalogs in Buckeye Buy for interior, exterior and garage floor painting services at contracted hourly and square footage rates. See the full post for links to the Painting Services contract book for more details and supplier contact information.

This post contains new Buckeye Buy catalog information about suppliers Al’s Delicious Popcorn, Sonesta Hotel, Columbus Garage Floor Coatings, and Univ Main Warehouse and Chemistry Store. See the full post for details.

During the week of June 23, Workday validations were added to the supplier invoice business process to ensure that the cost of sales expenditure treatment worktag can only be utilized by approved university earnings operations (Funds FD120, FD121, FD122 and FD200). As a reminder, use of the ET101 expenditure treatment drives the transaction accounting to the cost of sales ledger account (61020). See the full post for more details and guidance.

A column on the output of the reports "Find Supplier Invoice Summary - OSU" and "Find Supplier Invoice Details - OSU" has been removed due to performance issues. The report field removed was "All Invoices Paid to Supplier on Settlement Run." End users can instead run the report "Supplier Payments" to obtain a list of invoices paid to a supplier during a particular settlement run.

Workday has increased the available lines of results under the Search Catalog link from 50 to 250 lines. Requestors should include a basic product or service description with any distinguishing features such as size, capacity, color, and supplier name for the best results. Only 41 of the 287 hosted catalogs under the search catalog link have more than 250 items so many catalogs can be viewed in their entirety with a search by supplier name alone. Contact the Marketplace Team with questions about searching in Buckeye Buy.

Local snack supplier, Al’s Delicious Popcorn has joined Buckeye Buy with a 682-line catalog of popcorn snacks in a wide variety of flavors. Products are available in various snack or bulk packaging. See Al's Delicious Popcorn contract book page (link in full post) for contract details and supplier contact information. This catalog can be searched by supplier name Al’s Delicious Popcorn, or just “popcorn.” Narrow your search by flavor for the best results.

The "Forecast Plan Name" default prompt value has been updated to reflect the FY25 Summer Forecast being loaded on the reports listed in the full post.

The report "UNIV Remaining Encumbrances - Requisitions, POs, Spend Authorizations, Supplier Contracts" has two new date prompts. One prompt allows users to enter a Requisition Request Date On or Before. This is to allow users to isolate only requisitions that are intended for this fiscal year. A second prompt has been added for "PO Document Date On or Before." This is also to aid in delineating current fiscal year purchase orders from FY26 purchase orders.

UniPrint has been added as an option under “Connect to Supplier Website” in Buckeye Buy. This exciting change will allow customers to start and finish their online printing standard orders directly in Workday without having to jump between two different websites to purchase products. Please contact the UniPrint customer service team (uniprintcustserv@osu.edu) with questions. See the full post for more details.

An integration issue has been identified associated with the Supplier Discount integration where the full discount amount was not reclassed from the 17005 Discounts Earned Suspense ledger account to an expense account that earned the discount. The integration has been corrected moving forward and a clean-up of the variance for all the prior affected years will post into FY25 by the second close. This only affected supplier invoices that had freight and other charges at the header level.
