A number of changes have been implemented this month based on input from the Ohio State research community about Workday. The changes include:
Emeritus Faculty can now be added as PIs on grants. Permission to view award attachments was granted to anyone with Grant Administration dashboard access. The Personnel and Non-Personnel Expenditures section in Grants Administration and Principal Investigators Summary dashboards now only includes direct costs. The F&A can be viewed in the Budget vs Actuals by Object Class section. We are aware of encumbrances issues on the Other Funding report and working on a fix. At the same time, this report will also be added to the Grants Administration dashboard to mimic PI Summary dashboard. The changes will be coming soon.
A journal was created to clean up outstanding equity balances for Federal Workstudy students on GR100794 in department Cost Centers. At year-end, it was noticed that after running equity balances, there was negative equity appearing on this grant. The journal has provided revenue to these combinations to clear the department equity balances. Moving forward, at month end, 75% of eligible workstudy earnings will be moved to the worktags listed so this issue will stop.
