Process purchase requisitions to the appropriate fiscal year. Expenses must be recorded in the fiscal year in which the goods or services are received, regardless of the date of the actual payment or issuance of a purchase order. Provide dates of service on purchase requisitions. Process requisitions for the new fiscal year in Workday using the year-end requisitioning procedures.

The Workday invoice date determines the fiscal year to which the requisition is recorded.

Workday has two options for blanket orders: non-catalog blanket orders and supplier contracts.

Noncatalog Blanket Orders

For non-catalog blanket orders, the important fields are:

• Item Description: Enter a description for the blanket order in the item description field, including Cost Center/Supplier Name/Fiscal Year. Sample text: FY25 Z220 VWR Blanket Order
• Description: Add any applicable account numbers with the supplier in the description field of your blanket order.
• Memo: Reference the previous FY blanket order number. If a previous fiscal year PO is unavailable, indicate so by including "N/A" or "No prior year blanket PO" in this field.
• Start Date/End Date: Fiscal year dates (e.g. 07/01/2024 – 06/30/2025) unless a grant applies, in which case you would use the grant's end date.
• Request Date: Change the request date to 07/01/20XX, the beginning date of the fiscal year that it applies to.

Supplier Contracts

For supplier contracts, the important fields are as follows:

• Contract Name: Enter the Cost Center (Dxxx), Supplier Name and the fiscal year.
  Sample Text: D060 Staples FY25
  Add a unique identifier if multiple blanket orders will be issued to this vendor in your cost center.
• Start Date/End Date: Fiscal year dates (e.g. July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025) - unless a grant applies, in which case, you would use the end date of the grant

Do not enter start/end dates into the goods line. Workday will not allow these fields to have dates in them.

ISDs must be recorded to the appropriate fiscal year. Expenses must be recorded in the fiscal year in which the goods or services are received. Provide dates of service on internal service deliveries.

Requesters: The document date and the delivery date indicate to the service provider the fiscal year in which you expect to receive the goods or services. Both dates should be June dates if you expect delivery of goods or services by June 30. Enter a document date and delivery date of July 1 for new year orders (expected delivery July 1 or later).

Service Providers: For goods/services provided as of June 30, please ensure that a June document date and delivery date are entered when you review. If you are completing an internal service delivery in July for services provided as of June 30, change the document date and delivery date to June 30.

FY24 ISDs are to be reviewed/approved by the service providers by 5 p.m. on June 30. ISDs are to be approved by the Commitment Offices by 5 p.m. on July 5.

For goods or services provided in the new fiscal year (starting July 1), please ensure that a July document date and delivery date are entered.

Process supplier invoice requests to the appropriate fiscal year. Expenses must be recorded in the fiscal year in which the goods or services are received, regardless of the date of the actual payment.

The invoice date entered in Workday determines the fiscal year in which the transaction will post. If you received the goods or services in FY24, the invoice date entered in Workday should be June 30, 2024, or earlier. If you will receive the goods or services in FY25, the invoice date entered in Workday should be July 1, 2024, or later.
