  • Getting Ready for Upcoming Buckeye Buy Changes

    Richard Hunter|April 14, 2023

    We are less than a month from being able to order goods and services directly in Workday. Here are steps you should take to prepare for this transition: 

  • Catering Service Line Added to Most Drop-off Catering Marketplace Service Catalogs

    Richard Hunter|April 14, 2023

    A Catering Service line has been added to most of the drop-off service catalogs in the Catering Marketplace. This will allow users to enter a one-line order for event food, beverages, disposables, etc. as quoted by the supplier. Rooster’s, Chick Fil-A, and Mazah Mediterranean Eatery catalogs do not include this line yet but may in the coming days.

    Contact The Marketplace Team at BF-Marketplace@osu.edu with questions about the Catering Marketplace.

  • New University-Wide Contract – Local Accommodations and Event Space

    Richard Hunter|April 14, 2023

    A new university-wide contract for local accommodations and event space was recently awarded to 25 properties by the Sourcing Team. Sourcing has pre-negotiated terms and rates with local hotels and event centers for use by Ohio State as part of a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). The scope of these contracts includes individual and group accommodations, meeting and event space, AV/TV service, food and beverage services, and additional services for events at each property. Pre-negotiated terms include pricing, cancellation, attrition, concessions, etc.

  • Encumbrances for Blanket Purchase Orders

    Richard Hunter|April 14, 2023

    Encumbrances for blanket purchase orders associated with fiscal year 2024 will first post to fiscal year 2023 until a manual job is run at month-end to move the encumbrance into fiscal year 2024. The process will look for any blanket purchase orders created after 4/17/23. It is also important to review the Creating a Blanket Purchase Order job aid in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC).

  • Confirm, Update Default Workday Deliver-to Location 

    Richard Hunter|March 17, 2023

    One way to prepare for bringing the Buckeye Buy experience directly into Workday is to confirm your work space (deliver-to address) is correct to ensure accurate deliveries. To confirm your work space, log in to Workday, navigate to your profile, and select Job from the menu. On the Job Details tab, locate the Work Space field below the Location field. If there is no Work Space field, one is not set up on your profile yet.

  • Changes Coming to Buckeye Buy Experience

    Richard Hunter|March 3, 2023

    Coming in May, we are making strides to improve the purchasing experience in Workday.  

    What’s Changing:  

    • Buckeye Buy requisitions will require fewer clicks to search the catalog within Workday or connect to supplier websites.  
    • Requesters will be able to set catalog search filters to find preferred items more easily. 
    • The Requisitions application will be the recommended method for creating a requisition. The Create Requisitions task will no longer be recommended.
