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.

Enhancements have been made to the "Find Requisition Summary - OSU" and "Business Processes Awaiting Action - Requisition Detail" reports. New report fields that have been added to the output of each report are specific to requisitions with new supplier registrations. The new fields include those listed below.

• Date First Email was Sent to Supplier
• Date Second Email was Sent to Supplier
• Date Application was Received from Supplier

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.   

As part of fiscal year-end planning, the annual supplier inactivation project will be transacted in Workday. There are 4,287 supplier candidates to be inactivated. These are suppliers with no invoices or purchase orders in the last thirteen (13) months. This analysis and review were performed by team members from Campus, Office of Sponsored Programs, and Wexner Medical Center. If you have any questions, contact Supplier Maintenance at BF-PRSM-WEBFORM@osu.edu.

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.
