Managing Split Costs in Workday
April 9, 2025
In Workday, you can split costs across multiple funding sources. This promotes collaboration between departments and keeps Cost Center Managers informed, allowing them to review and approve expenditures from their department’s budget. In the past, this process involved one department purchasing and requesting transfers from the University’s Business Office to allocate funds to the appropriate accounts. Now, with Workday, the process is more streamlined.
Expense Reports
For Expense Reports, users can "Itemize" the expense line to charge it to multiple funding sources. However, itemization should only be used when more than one funding source is involved. Cost Center Managers can quickly review charges by opening the Expense Report. Under itemization, click View Details to see each line and the corresponding charges before approving them.

Workday Process Improvements: Simplified Spend Authorizations
February 12, 2025
Based on feedback from campus members, we have made adjustments to streamline the processes for Spend Authorizations and Expense Reports.
Here are the key adjustments:

Flexible Submission Options for Spend Authorizations:

This flexibility enables Cost Center Managers to maintain their preferred level of detail, while simplifying the input process when less detail is needed for certain types of recordkeeping.
Please consult with your Cost Center Manager to confirm your department's requirements regarding consolidated versus itemized submissions. -
