Frequently-Asked Questions

How will cycles be corrected if they are off? This has been an issue with advance requests.

Currently, OSP and GCA are working together to bring cycles into alignment with the Workday award structure. In future state, cycles will be replaced by Awards. The request for an initial advance will result in a partial award being set up in Workday. When we have a final award agreement, the completed award request will fully activate that award.

If it turns out that an advance should have been applied to an existing award instead of getting set up as a new award, there would still be clean-up actions needed, to ensure spending occurs against the correct award. GCA will work with campus to correct and ensure that expenditures that have posted on the advance award line are reprocessed under the correct award.
