System Receiving for Orders

About Receiving

The receiving functionality in Workday provides campus users with a mechanism to ensure that items and services on orders are received. Invoices that require receiving will not pay to suppliers until the receiving is completed. 

Best Practice: Have a written receiving procedure in place for your department.

How do I order a cellular phone?

Cell phone orders shall be placed directly with the vendor via any of the wireless carrier’s websites. Our preferred vendors are AT&T and T-Mobile. Your department head has been given access to the wireless carrier’s website and should be able to grant access to you. Only a University of Washington Procurement Card (UW ProCard) may be used to place any orders for cell phones and cellular service.

Can ride share services be used for local transportation of visiting guests (grad students, employee candidates) to and from campus?

Yes, ride sharing services like Uber or Lyft, can be used for UW-related business purposes. Uber provides auto liability insurance for all registered drivers.  The department can pay for ride sharing services with their ProCard. 
To reimburse your guest who paid for Uber with their personal funds, please submit a Travel Expense Report
To reimburse a UW employee who used their personal funds to pay for Uber, also submit a Travel Expense Report
