In preparation for Position Control enhancements, a new "Central Review Required" field has been added to the output of the "Cost Center – FDM Values" report. This field will be used to identify whether a cost center will require central review within the job requisition business process.
Find Purchase Order Summary – OSU:
The "Find Purchase Order Summary – OSU" report has been enhanced with two new additional fields to the report output. The new fields are “Initiator of BP” and "Last Activity Date." The "Initiator of the BP" (Business Process) identifies who initiated the business process while the "Last Activity Date" field was added to help end users find purchase orders that have not had recent activity.
Find Purchase Order Details – OSU:
The "Find Purchase Order Details – OSU" report has been enhanced with two new additional fields in the report output. The new field names are “Last Invoice Date,” and "Last Activity Date." These fields were added to help end users find purchase orders that have not had recent activity. This allows end users to identify which purchase orders may need to remain open and which ones can be closed.
A new filter has been added to the "Historical Paid Vouchers (APU111DW)" tableau report. Users now have the option to select PO ID in Historical Paid Vouchers dashboard filter tab along with the other filters.
Exceptions Reporting:
To accommodate changes to policy exception tracking in Requisitions and SIRs, there are several reporting changes pertaining to Exceptions which are further detailed in the full NewsLink post.
As of Friday, November 3 , the "Calculate Current Year Retained Earnings" checkbox will be retired by Workday.
Using this checkbox tells the report to calculate ending equity balances by taking beginning equity balance – net margin. Those who still need comparable behavior may utilize the "General Ledger Balance – Balance Sheet Details" report which will calculate ending equity in this manner. Please review the October Finance Office hours for a demo of this change.
The "Delegation History - OSU" report date filters have been updated for a better reporting experience. When the user opens the report, on the "Delegation by Month" tab, the "User Input Month" field is updated with the current month. On the "Delegation by Date Range" tab, the "Date Range" field is updated with first day of the current month and current date. The user can select the dates based on their requirements from the filter icon as needed.
Report Enhancements: Credit Card Transactions – OSU and Find Credit Cards – OSU:
The "Credit Card Transactions – OSU" and "Find Credit Cards – OSU" have been enhanced with two additional fields.
Cardholder/Card Manager Email: This field may be useful when the Expense Payee and the Cardholder are not the same individual. Card Type: This field will identify the card type assigned by the PCard Office (i.e. Department Card).
Additionally the field "Corporate Credit Card Billing Account" has been relocated after the "PCard Cost Center" column.
Report Enhancement: Managerial Gift Report:
The Managerial Gift report has been enhanced to provide greater level of detail via the drill down functions within Workday. Individuals can now drill down by Worker to view additional details on personnel expenses on Gifts.
Report Enhancement: Internal Service Provider Billing:
A new prompt has been added to the Internal Service Provider Billing report. Users now have the option to select a checkbox if they wish to exclude split-funded purchase order lines from the report output.
The Workday report "OSU Plan vs Actuals by Cost Center" will be decommissioned on October 9.
Individuals should utilize the report "Plan vs Actuals by Plan Worktag" as the alternative. If you have saved filters for "OSU Plan vs Actuals by Cost Center" they should be moved to the replacement report prior to October 9.
The "Find Spend Authorization Summary – OSU" report has been enhanced with a new additional field in the report output. New field name is “In Progress Linked Expense Reports.”
There are two linked fields in the report “Draft Linked Expense Reports” and “In Progress Linked Expense Reports.” Both will be populated in the report when the expense report status is “Draft” or “In Progress.” These two fields can be used when reviewing Spend Authorizations that can be closed and are no longer needed.
As of Friday, September 1 , the "Managerial Trial Balance" report behavior will change when viewing equity balances.
Prior to the change, equity balances would calculate "beginning balance – net margin" to derive an ending equity balance. After this change, the equity balance on the trial balance will always reflect the beginning balance numbers. Going forward, you must take your equity balance and subtract your net margin from it (sum of Revenue and Expenses) to obtain the derived equity balance as of the date you run the report.
The "Flexible Payroll Expense Data" report allows users to customize worktags to display when reviewing payroll expenses. As of Monday, August 21 , the Tableau report interface for the custom worktag selection will be enhanced to improve the end user experience. Instead of users selecting the "select column" icon from the top right of the report, now all column selections will appear above the column’s headings and will remain displayed.
As of Monday, August 21 , a new series of reports will be available that offer insight into the amount of time transactions spent in pending approval steps during workflow. These transaction types include Requisitions, Spend Authorizations, Expense Reports, Miscellaneous Payment Requests, Supplier Invoice Requests, Supplier Invoices, and Purchase Order Change Orders.
For each transaction type, two different report styles will be available. The "Detail" reports will provide the amount of time the transaction spent pending approval from each approval step in the workflow, as well as the approving workers for each transaction. The "Summary" reports will provide a high-level overview of the average approval times for each approval step per cost center hierarchy. These summary reports will also be placed on a dashboard called "Business Process Approval Times - Finance/Supply Chain." See the full NewsLink post for more details.
