Workday will be unavailable due to planned quarterly maintenance on Saturday, May 20, from 2 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Kronos and external dormakaba time clocks will be available, but employees using Workday to clock in and out should enter their hours once Workday is online.
Supply Ordering: Order Friday, May 19 before 10 p.m. or after 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 20.
Changes to Buckeye Buy are now live! The job aids associated with ordering goods and services are now updated in the Supply Chain section of the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). For a list of updated job aids, view the list in a previous NewsLink article.
Now that we are live with the new ordering process, here are a few reminders:
As part of the project to move ordering within Workday, Buckeye Buy ordering will be unavailable on Saturday, May 6, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. prior to the May 8 go-live. This downtime does not affect par orders or deliveries.
Health System Supply Chain users should note the important information listed below.
We are a week away from implementing changes to Buckeye Buy. There are a few more items to share before we go live on May 8, 2023.
One of the changes associated with the move to ordering of goods and services into Workday is with requisition sourcing rules. Starting on Monday, May 8, when you create a requisition for multiple goods, some may be fulfilled from inventory, instead of from an external supplier. The intent behind these sourcing changes is to use any inventory on hand first before ordering more from the external supplier.
The job aids listed below will be updated on May 8 to accommodate a new enhancement to Workday ordering that reduces the clicks needed to place an order.
In order to improve the Workday purchasing experience for end users, on Monday, May 8, the SC99999 spend category will be renamed from:
OFFICE USE ONLY - Do Not Change (SC99999) to *Do Not Know (SC99999)
This renaming allows for this spend category to default as the first selection option when Spend Categories are searched in transactions.
To continually improve the candidate recruiting experience, Workday updates were made last week to ensure all position information is captured during the edit position restriction and job requisition business processes. Both business processes will include validations as part of the submission process, which means if required fields are left empty or do not meet the necessary criteria, an error notification will appear.
Blanket orders are used for transactions that occur very frequently (daily or multiple times a week), have a high variation of product types, have undetermined timing, and are not available in Buckeye Buy.
Water Service blanket purchase order information for FY24 (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024) is now available.
Annual office water service purchase orders to Magnetic Springs (5 Gallon water service and water filtration units) must be placed outside Buckeye Buy and must be a single-line blanket type purchase order. Please do not create a create a separate line to contain the $0.00 charge for the 5 gallon water dispenser.
For FY24 the pricing will be as follows:
