Non-Student Accounts in Collections Converting to Workday the Week of May 16
Beginning the week of May 16, non-student accounts in collections will be converted to Workday. This conversion out of Campus Solutions (SIS) may change where you view account balances.
Most balances held in the SIS ledger accounts of 12210 and 12050 will convert to the Workday ledger account 12000.
To review balances in Workday, use the General Ledger Balance report or the Find Journal Lines - OSU report. For balances remaining in SIS, continue to use the Student Financial Reports in Tableau.
Accounts in collections with combined student-related and non-student related debt will remain in SIS.
See the full NewsLink article for more information including details about student-related and non-student related debt, intended conversion deadline, and who to contact with questions about this change.

New Workday Inbox Filter for Match Exception Tasks
A new Inbox Filter for Workday was created April 28 for use on match exceptions, specifically within the CCH7 cost center hierarchy. This new match exception lookup is tied to the requisition line and requisition line distribution business objects. The naming convention for this filter is “XCF_EMI_Match_Exception_CCH7.” Instructions for using it appear in the Create, Edit and Apply an Inbox Filter job aid.
Once created, this filter should deliver results accordingly.
When creating a new inbox filter:
- In the "Source External Field" area, enter the new calculated filter labeled: XCF_EMI_Match_Exception_CCH7.
- The relational operator should state, "any in the selection list," with the comparison type defaulting to "value specified in this filter."
- The comparison value field should be narrowed down to your specific CCH7 cost center area or needs.
