Friday, March 23, will be the final day for a number of processes to be completed before we make the planned transition to Workday April 1. Please finish up all transactions in these areas by close of business tomorrow. They include:
-invoice submission to Accounts Payable through Banner
-submission and reconciliation of Concur expenses and P-card/PaymentNet charges
-processing of OfficeDepot and B-buy purchase orders, and
-budget adjustments and transfers.
I want to thank the Workday team for their outstanding efforts as we move quickly toward our target go-live date of April 1. Staff from Human Resources, Finance and Library & Information Technology have put in a tremendous amount of work coordinating this significant enhancement to Bucknell business operations.
If you’ve completed a Workday training session, you’ve seen how Workday will bring new opportunities for collaboration and efficiency and improve daily functions for all faculty and staff at Bucknell for many years ahead. If you have not signed up for training, please take time to explore online Workday resources so you can become familiar with the platform. Expect regular enhancements to Workday’s capabilities, and remember that Workday instruction will become a permanent part of our training program for faculty and staff.
I look forward to a smooth transition as we approach this exciting milestone.

Vice President for Library & Information Technology
