Create Requisition for Technology Project Expenses in Workday

Overview

This SOP outlines the steps necessary for CapEx and OpEx Project members to create a project to track in Workday.

Create the Project in Workday

1. In the search bar, type Create Project and click on the task.

2. Select the appropriate Project Hierarchy for this project from Create Project Task. Select OK at the bottom of the page to continue. To create a new Project Hierarchy, contact workday@pathwayvets.com.

3. Enter the following Project details. The orange fields are required:

  • Project Name: Provide a name for this project.

  • Start Date: Enter the date the Project starts.

  • End Date: Enter the date the project ends, or leave it blank for ongoing.

  • Status: For reporting purposes

  • Owner: This defaults to the project creator. DO NOT confuse the Owner with the project manager. The Owner is a reporting field.

  • Project Hierarchy: The Project Hierarchy for the project.

  • Optional Project Hierarchy: Complete this field to assign the project to multiple hierarchies.

  • Project ID: Workday will use a unique identifier to identify the project. Please follow the preferred nomenclature of YYYY-###, where ### is sequential. EXAMPLE: THE FIRST PROJECT IS 2021-001, THE SECOND PROJECT WILL BE 2021-002.

  • Include Project ID in Name: This attaches the ID to the front of the project name. Please check this box.

  • Capital Project: This is required for any project that needs to be capitalized. It is very important to select if you need to capitalize anything related to the project!

  • Company: The Company for the project. This is required for Capital Projects.

  • Project Currency: This should be USD for all Capital Projects.

  • Customer: Customer for the project. This is not currently in use for Thrive.

  • Project Groups: This is for more granular reporting. This is not currently in use.

4. Role Assignment tab: Do not confuse Project Roles with Project Resources; we will look at those on another tab. The Project Manager role is inherited from the Project Hierarchy. To change this for a specific Project, select the drop-down under Roles, enter Project Manager, and enter the project manager's name under Assign To.

5. Project Plan tab: These phases/tasks are where the project resources will book their time. Add at least one phase to add tasks. Please add all applicable tasks to the phase by pressing the + in the third column.

6. Resource Plan tab: In this example, the Resource Plan is inherited from the Project Hierarchy. If there is ever a reason that you need to override this, select Create from Blank. Then, manually pick Project Role and assign either a group or a worker to the resource. In this case, the group containing anyone in the Information Technology Cost Center Hierarchy can book a time for this project.

7. To create a new Worker Group or Project Role for a Project or Project Hierarchy, please contact workday@pathwayvets.com.

8. Select Submit to complete the creation of the Project. Once fully approved, any Project Resource can book time against the Project.
