Now that we are live with the new ordering process, there are a few reminders to share including a comparison of the former requisition process with the new requisition process via the Workday Requisition Crosswalk and a few recorded demos of the new process.

One of the changes associated with the move to ordering of goods and services into Workday is with requisition sourcing rules. Starting on Monday, May 8 , when you create a requisition for multiple goods, some may be fulfilled from inventory, instead of from an external supplier. The intent behind these sourcing changes is to use any inventory on hand first before ordering more from the external supplier.
The experience of ordering from inventory should be no different from ordering through an external supplier. That said, one anticipated benefit of fulfilling from inventory is a requester receives a notification when backorders occur. See the full NewsLink post for details.
Multiple job aids in the Supply Chain and procurement space will be updated on May 8 to accommodate a new enhancement to Workday ordering that reduces the clicks needed to place an order. See the full NewsLink post for the job aids list.
In order to improve the Workday purchasing experience for end users, on Monday, May 8, the SC99999 spend category will be renamed from:
OFFICE USE ONLY - Do Not Change (SC99999) to *Do Not Know (SC99999)
This renaming allows for this spend category to default as the first selection option when Spend Categories are searched in transactions.
Please note, Service Center employees and Health System buyers will continue to verify that the correct spend categories are applied to non-catalog requisitions as a part of requisition processing. There are no changes to the approval process.
To continually improve the candidate recruiting experience, Workday updates were made last week to ensure all position information is captured during the edit position restriction and job requisition business processes. Both business processes will include validations as part of the submission process, which means if required fields are left empty or do not meet the necessary criteria, an error notification will appear. This knowledge article outlines the required information. If you receive the error message, provide the missing information and continue the process. Additionally, the validation that required job requisition compensation to be the same as default compensation is no longer necessary and has been removed.
It is important to accurately capture all position information and job descriptions for every position, including student employee jobs. This helps streamline the application process, improves job requisition data and gives candidates a better understanding of the role. Job aids are being developed to help with the creation of job descriptions and will be available in the coming weeks.
The compensation team will work with HRBPs and HRCs to help update and correct inaccurate information that currently exists in positions. More information will be shared as data is reviewed.
