New Workday Enhancement — Activity notes for supplier invoices or supplier invoice adjustments

We are pleased to announce an upcoming Workday enhancement that introduces an improved Activity Note functionality for Supplier Invoices and Supplier Invoice Adjustments.

Current Status:

Workday does not allow users to add notes or comments when a Supplier Invoice or Supplier Invoice Adjustment is:

  • Cancelled
  • Already paid

This enhancement addresses that gap by enabling Activity Notes, which serve as a record of actions, updates, and comments related to specific transactions.

Supplier onboarding is changing soon — But only for suppliers!

In mid-February, the process for suppliers onboarding into UW Workday systems will be changing.

Suppliers will create accounts and onboard in a different area of Workday, called Workday Strategic Sourcing (WSS). The login requires all new suppliers to use a Multi-Factor Authentication app, keeping their information and attachments secure, such as required IRS W-9 and W-8 documents.
