Receiving and Mail

During the campus closure, December 27 through the 29 several P2P services will be suspended, including General Warehouse, Surplus, Mail Services, and Outbound shipping via UPS and FedEx. Central Receiving will also be closed but will have limited staff available to process expedited Wexner Medical Center, Health Science Clinics, and critical University Research shipments and compressed gases. Campus deliveries will resume on December 30 with anticipated delays due to volume.

Please plan ahead if you are expecting a critical shipment during the campus closure and make arrangements for delivery prior to or after the closure to safeguard your shipment....

All employees are encouraged to log in to Workday as soon as possible and update their specific work space within a building to ensure items are correctly delivered. Please change your work space by following the How to Change Your Work Space job aid. Additionally, your building location in Workday must be correct to effectively change your work space. If your building location is incorrect, only your manager can update that information by following the Change Job Details job aid. Doing this promptly will alleviate future delays in your deliveries.

Following are important procurement-related downtime dates that are necessary as we transition from PeopleSoft to Workday. Please review these dates carefully, mark your calendar with reminders, and prepare now for the supplies and services you will need during downtime. You can also view the workday calendar.
