Workday - Spend Authorization & Expense
Workday is the administrative technology that will serve as the single system for the university’s business operations in finance, human resources, payroll and supply chain.
Before travel departure, Workday provides system documented authority to partake in business travel and extend funding to support travel costs with the issuance of an approved spend authorization (or SA#), which includes business purpose and expense estimates. Upon extension of travel costs or return from travel, Workday provides system documented reconcilation of travel costs with the issuance of an expense report (or ER). Workday accommodates all university companies (Grants/OSP, Health System and UNIV).
As a self-serve system, Workday features include:
Specific administrative access roles are determined by the unit for the initiation/approval of spend authorization (SA#) and expense reports. See your unit for access.
