New Price for University Cash and Check Deposit Bags
University Stores Warehouse, through the Buckeye Buy portal, supplies the university-issued two-part deposit bags that units across campus utilize for their cash and check deposits through either university deposit centers or directly through the armored carrier. In the past, these bags have been provided at no cost.
Effective immediately, there will be a nominal charge for the deposit bags. Going forward, the bags will be available to order through Buckeye Buy, at $9.00 for a pack of 50 bags (.18 cents per bag).
Please note, bags are currently on order with our vendor but are experiencing long lead times with delivery. We ask during this time that you are mindful of the stock and only order bags if you are completely out. In the interim we ask you work with other units in your college or office to share bags until the supply can be replenished. We thank you for your understanding.
If you have questions about this change, please contact Amy McMahon in Treasury or David McDonald at OSU Stores.
Workday Journal Line Reload Week of April 5
Starting the week of April 5, 2022, we will be working behind the scenes to reload the core Journal Line dataset from Workday into the Reporting and Analytics Environment (RAE), starting with January 2021 data and finishing through current day. The reload process is expected to be complete no later than April 15, 2022. We will load the data incrementally in monthly buckets due to the size of the files. Thus, during this 10-day period, updates will appear as the load steps complete.
There will be no system outage or downtime due to this work. Users, reports, and dashboards should not be affected. Updated and complete data will flow into your existing queries without any changes on your part. Once the reload is complete, we will send out a follow up notification.

New Date for Workday Career Site Update
The user interface of the Workday careers website will be updated on Friday, April 8, to enhance the experience and usability for external job applicants. This enhancement was initially scheduled for implementation on March 12, 2022, with Workday 2022 R1. However, Workday has delayed this functionality and has rescheduled implementation for April 8. Changes include:
- A new look and feel of the external career site starting April 8.
- A new search feature on the external careers site that allows a split view so applicants can view job details without leaving the search results page The page will retain the search criteria after clicking into a job posting providing a split view, whereas before, the applicant had to reenter the search upon returning to the search page.
- Appending the search filter/keywords to the end of the page URL link, allowing for a direct link to filtered search pages, providing anyone with the ability to directly link to specific filtered positions.
What you need to do:
- While this enhancement will primarily be seen by external job applicants, please be aware of the changes should you receive any questions.
