Workday Tips and Tricks: Change to commitments for internal orders
Due to a recent change to the process for billing for goods and services purchased from internal Ohio State University suppliers, like UniPrint or the Data Coordination and Analysis Center, the commitments for purchase orders created for these internal purchases will remain on funding sources, including grants, after the end of the month in which it was created. These purchase order commitments will be relieved after billing happens, in the same manner as purchase orders to external suppliers. The advantage to those with grant funding or other funding sources is a more accurate balance. Contact Tiffany Garner with questions.
Staff Asked to Add Career Data in Workday
The Office of Human Resources is launching a new project called the Staff Career Data Project. The goal for this project is to collect staff education and past work experience in Workday. They are asking staff to ensure education levels attained and prior work experience are complete and accurate in Workday by December 5, 2023.
The data entry phase is an important first step in this institution-wide project to enhance staff data integrity in Workday. In 2024, this information will be used to assess the placement of each staff member’s pay rate within their pay range. No immediate pay adjustments are planned.
For more information, please contact Kim Oyer or Amy Malone.
