Incorrect/lost/damage check procedure: 
  • Please fill out a Check Cancellation Request Form from UW Connect.
  • Miscellaneous Payments:
    • Once the check has been canceled, the MP will be canceled in Workday. If payment is still due, Shared Environment should submit a new MP in Workday.
  • Expense Reports:
    • Once the check has been canceled, the ER will not be canceled in Workday and instead, the ER will re-run for settlement that evening.
  • To expedite, the 'copy' function can be used on the previous ER. Note that all attachments & comments will need to be re-added. Here are the instructions:
    • Go to the Expenses App, click on Expense Reports, choose 'Approved' in the status field
    • Select the Expense Report by clicking on the Related Actions icon (do not actually open the report)
    • Under Expense Report, click on the 'copy' button
    • A new copy of ER will open or you can find the new copy in your drafts under My Expense Reports
    • Please attach all of the required receipts/documents, as they won’t be automatically copied
    • Please re-input line item details and all overall comments, as they won’t be duplicated either

Wire

  • Processed by UW Accounts Payable
  • Payments are limited to foreign nationals with foreign banks
  • No Fee ($0) as of July 2023
  • Available for Miscellaneous Payments
    • Wire payments typically have longer processing times than the other payment options. Further delays can be based on central office processing times due to high volume. 

Payment Tracking

  • Once an expense report has been fully processed, payment information can be determined by coming back to the expense report after a couple business days.
  • The information is shown below the summary in the 'Expense Report' section
