The template to upload journal entries via Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) is changing. After 5 p.m. on Friday, April 23, you must use the new EIB template available in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). The old template will no longer work after 5 p.m. on Friday, April 23.
What’s changed? Workday has added a new optional field, Salary Cap Type. This field is used for maintaining salary/fringe expenses that have sponsor limits for Office of Sponsored Program Expenses and will be adjusted by the Controller’s Office. See the Upload Journal Entries with EIB Template job aid for more information about using the template.
Using Workday Search for People Names Did you know you can search for people in Workday? You can! Use caution when using Workday's search for specific people names. Workday’s predictive search is helpful in most cases but when there are multiple people with the same name, the predictive search may not immediately display the correct person.
Current financials users have access to Finance database FN8QAD, which is a replication of the former PeopleSoft production database FNOSU. Due the transition to Workday, the FN8QAD database will be unavailable to users on both Thursday, January 14 and Friday, January 15 . Access will be restored on Saturday, January 16 .
This is a reminder that reports will be available at go-live on January 7, but will not be applicable for Year to Date/Life to Date reporting until all historical data loads are complete. Grants historical data will be available January 20 and GL data through December 2020 will be available January 25.
