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. This will discussed in the September Finance Office hours.
The "Positions for Planning" report will be updated the evening of Monday, August 12 . In order to pull in the new "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" journal source data successfully, the “region” filter and column was removed from the report. This integration was created for FY24 year-end to fix the encumbrances for the last biweekly payroll of the year. Please note, the "Pay Component" and "Pay Group" fields will be blank for the "Payroll Encumbrance Accrual Reversal" journal source rows. Also, you can exclude biweekly pay period 14 (pay period ending 6/28/25 with a pay date of 7/11/25) from the report by using the Commitment Start/End Date prompts.
Starting Thursday, August 15 , new “Edit Position Restriction” and “Create Job Requisition” business processes will no longer require "Default Compensation" information to be entered or updated. This will streamline these two business processes, and HR Consultants, managers or cost center managers will no longer need to complete this step. Please share this change with others in your respective unit. Relevant Administrative Resource Center (ARC) job aids will be updated.
The "Default Compensation" fields may still appear in some reports; however, no data will be populated.
